on the river i think there is a decent chance he has some kind of marginal one pair hand. if he has something like T9 i expect he will call a good % of the time because my hand should like a lot like a missed draw. part of my motivation in checking the turn was to setup a river situation like this where i think i can get called by some pretty marginal hands.

i think raising pre-flop would have been fine as well and i often would in a spot like this, i just didnt this time. i dont think one option is significantly better than the other. the minor factors that pushed this a bit toward a call are that the limper seemed tight and reasonable and that the BB was someone who was aware that a lot of my pre-flop raises are weak and was more willing than most to re-raise me. i may also have been reading a thread on 2+2 or something and just felt like playing a low key hand.
