I get black 3s UTG at a Party 3/6 6 max table. I limp, which is probably ok for the table I'm at but I agree is debatable, but that's not what I want to discuss pretend I misclicked or something and move on.
Folded to the SB. He is a pretty straight foward, boring tight player who gives off that "full player new to 6 max vibe". Something like 20/10 and has seemed pretty uncreative so far. He completes
Laggish preflop and and generally lousy and passive post flop BB raises, we all call.
Flop:
2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif A/images/graemlins/spade.gif
SB checks, BB checks, I bet. (anybody hate this, I bet feeling like I could fold to a c/r from the preflop raiser, but thinking that he was passive/bad enough that he is likely not being tricky and just being bad).
I get check raised by the SB. BB folds...
Now based on what I think of him, and my impressions of how he'd play, I don't think this is a a lone Ace or 8, or 88. It's never AA. The most likely hands I feel are flush draw v.v.v.v. often, and 22 on occasion. I don't want to debate this however, I just want to talk about how to play the hand with the understanding that he very likely has K/images/graemlins/spade.gifx/images/graemlins/spade.gif (I would have to explain too much of his play to say why I have this specific read, and why this isn't just a "putting them on something I can beat" situation, but I was pretty confident in this read.)
So, I call.

Het bets, I call.
Here is where I start to question. If I realy believe that I'm likely best here, a raise seems correct, but then I feel that might be mitigated by the fact that my read is obviously not rock solid, and that while I think it's good enough that given a non-nasty river (no spade, no king) I have showdown value, I don't want to spend a lot of bets finding out.

He checks, I check.
I really feel like he's not calling with any hands I beat, so a check behind is best here.
