Given the check call the river bet would have been better IMO if it didn't pair the 5. If it was like a 2 or something I'd like it better. The reason is the 5 is another pair card he could call the river with you know? So I think I like another check call.

I take it you're calling a river raise and hating life?

I thought the 5 is a good card for him, because the blinds are far more likely to have a 5 than the limper. And so he is unlikely to get raised on the river, because he is now representing trips. So if he knows the opponent he can bet the river and is unlikely to get raised by hands like Kx. Course a real aggressive limper might raise on the river as a pure bluff so you have to know your opponent.
