Those few hands make the difference. No better hands are folding here because no better hands check both the turn and the river. You're not up against a better hand here, so a bet is good. I get called by AK here, as well as a lot of pairs.

Ive never had AK look me up here, at best youll occasionally get a middle pair. I say attack the weakness and go after him on the turn with 2/3rd pot bet.

This hand made me think of this exact thread and this post.
I just played this hand a few minutes ago on stars. I think it was a super easy call on the river. Do you see why? I decided on the turn I was calling his bet if he made it on the river with a junk river card.
