Default AK top two against unknown.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 5 handed) converter

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 [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

SB ($60.85)
BB ($58.7)
<font color="#C00000">Hero ($163.25)</font>
MP ($117.35)
<font color="#C00000">Button ($66)</font>

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.5.
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $4</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $10</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls $6.

Flop: ($21.50) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets $10</font>, Hero calls $10.

Turn: ($41.50) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets $10</font>, Hero calls $10.

River: ($61.50) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets $25</font>, Hero calls $25.

Final Pot: $111.50

Default bump

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.
