Situation:
B&M $2/$5 Blinds $200 capped buy in
10 Players
Hero in c/o with $600 with 6 /images/graemlins/club.gif7 /images/graemlins/club.gif (have everyone but SB covered)
UG+2 limps,
MP1 Limps
Hero Limps
Button raises $10 to $15
Big Blind calls, UG+2, MP1, and Hero call
Pot = $75
Flop K63r, everyone checks
Turn 8, Checked to hero, I bet $35 everyone folds. (including original raiser) except for BB who calls.
Pot = $145
River is a 7, giving hero 2 pair. BB checks. Your move?

Haven't played much with BB, but he hasn't got out of line to this point.

Edit: Forgot to mention BB has about $150 left at the river.

Call me weak, afraid, passive, but I check behind here. I like a free showdown in that size pot

Check behind... you'll cry if you get raised.

What is he calling on the turn with? Looks like 45 is a likely holding. If he's holding a king you miss out on some value, but does he really play a king that passively?

I usually bet here anyway, but I'm sure it's not the best play. You're really only ahead of K9, KT, or KJ - KQ or AK play this hand faster, IMO.

i check behind here for 2 reasons. first, i don't see him having a hand to call a bet with seeing he checked all 3 streets. second, this is a big pot any reasonable bet is a bet that commits u to call off the villains stack. i check behind and win the pot.
