I can't find a reason for raising the turn here. What am I missing?

If I'm seeing the river, I want to fold out the button who may or may not have me dominated.

I check fold the flop, but I'm a little weaky when I have about a 7% chance of winning the hand.

True, but why do you want to see the river so bad? Any read on the BB? He called 2 preflop so I'd have to think it's very likely he already has you beat. If he does, you have at most 6 outs and you may be drawing dead. If you had a spade, it would be a better play but you don't.

I was going to check-fold the flop. However, it was checked through. BB bet which may or may not be a steal. Should I fold to this bet? If I'm continuing I'm raising to try to a) get a free showdown and b) fold the button.

You're only folding AK here. I don't see him folding overpairs to your raise. If he's folding here, I'd think it would be more because of the BB waking up than anything.

With the BB suddenly waking up and the button behind you who probably has you beat, and a small/medium pot (you are getting 5.75 to 1) I don't feel very comfortable right here. I would tend to fold here because of the pot size and you don't know what the guy behind you is going to do.

I guess that's the question, should I see the river?

BB called two cold, the small chance he is stealing is negated by the fact you have almost nothing too with 6 sketchy outs. It's ok to fold when you are the pre-flop raiser.

Button checked behind on the flop. Do you think he has an overpair?
