$10 buy-in, 2nd hand so no reads. Should I bet the river here? If so and I'm check-raised, should I fold?

That's tough, because SB could possibly be trapping you with AK or 2 pair. The call on the flop is worrisome because there is no good draw there.

If you bet the river and he comes over the top of you, you're going to feel sick. I wouldn't bet it.
