Default Exactly how much of a wuss am I for not betting this river?

Both callers are semi-loose PF. UTG is passive (0.3 or somesuch), UTG++ is almost aggressive (1.8).

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Superman is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Superman raises</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: (7.50 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Superman bets</font>, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls.

Turn: (5.25 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Superman bets</font>, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls.

River: (8.25 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, Superman checks.

Final Pot: 8.25 BB

So, what's the story? Do I lose my Sklansky decoder ring for this check behind? These guys both had vpip's around 25, and under snap judgement I couldn't come up with a very long list of hands they'd call a river bet with that didn't beat me.

If I bet the river and get raised, then what?

Regards,
-Brian

Your wuss factor is somewhere between Neville Chamberlain and me. It could be worse.

I'd bet this against one opponent, but against two you probably made a decent choice. If you knew at least one was a juicy calling station, then it would be different, but I think you're right in that there's not many hands you can beat that will call you. And you'd probably have to fold to a raise.

If there was a queen on the flop it would be alot worse, but I'd still bet the river.

If they like to call me down with middle pair, I wanna let them call me on the river with it too. It's a public service I provide.
