Villain is weird. He's generally passive, but not immune to donkbet syndrome. I think he's capable of making this bet with a pair, two pair, or a straight. SB is unknown but I think his hand is pretty clear after his flop play.

Looks fine, since you want SB to keep calling w/ his KK or QQ.

Plus the likelihood that donkey spiked two pair or straight means that you don't want to raise the river.

you cant fold the turn, and you're not giving a cheap/free card here by just calling.

if he called the turn he's calling the river with KK, so you're not really missing a bet there on the river unless

1) he will call two cold with KK
and
2) the other guy will call with a worse hand as well.

since I think 1) will never happen, I think these plays are EV equal even if you were damn sure your hand is good. since you aren't, why not get the extra bet from SB, rather than from MP2, with no risk

Why the hell do you type out these long responses only to come to the same conclusion that I did with two sentences?
