Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 5 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

No reads on button, his second hand at the table. I figured he could do this with any med-high pocket pair (the high ones more likely obviously) and maybe AK-AJ or something. But that was just a guess, as he was a totally random player. (This could be dead giveaway of AA-KK or it could be K5o, who knows?) I planned on check folding the river, but called anyway /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

This is against an unknown. That means you know as much as me (normally asking advice is kinda stupid if the asker is a thinkin' player, since it will take friggin' pages to tell all you know about villain and base your disition on). I'm not a big fan of bumping, but what is the best line here? I suspect I didn't take it.

I'm drunk.

check calling the turn is pretty bad. esp for sucha cheap price. youre strong, but theres a lot of river cards youd rather not see.

i'd probably lead the turn for about $20-$25

i don't like the check on the river. i think you need to either use a blocking bet here or possibly check/fold.

as it is- i personally would bet ~$20-$25 on the river and probably fold to a raise b/c the only hand you're beating is AJ (aside from a bluff.) i think check/fold is too weak, but if i'm up against a solid villain i can see someone making a solid case in favor of a check/fold in this instance.
