Re: 5-10 live and a proper free showdown play. (I think)
I sometimes raise this preflop in this position (or UTG) or even a hand like 98s, and sometimes I just call. It depends on how much I've been raising at that point and if they've seen me bet flop and check/fold turn recently. It's not a big EV difference either way. I just felt on this hand that it would be better to not be noticed at the moment.
The reason I would check river if called is because of QJ/KJ or even a 7 that wants to get in check/raise. Also, what if a Q,K, or A hits? Am I really betting the river then after SB calls a raise?
