What would they raise on the river with that doesn't have hero beat, though?

Maybe this isn't a bad time...

Some players will automatically bet if you check the river.

i'm talking about betting, and getting raised on the river. If I check, I'm calling for sure.

I don't think you'll gain much by betting here. If you bet and they fold you won't gain anything, and if you get raised you will loose two bets instead of one.

I clench my teeth and value bet in these situations...I think that's what you have to do.

Oops. But i still think value betting is correct here.

The river is easy:

Bet, but fold to a raise (from anyone).

The fact that this table is "pretty passive" makes this the correct play even moreso.

Please define "value bet" for me.

Welcome to the forums.

I'm such a calling station on the river...If it's raised by either one of them, im calling.

If you aren't going to call a raise on the river, then why bet?

EDIT: I know sometimes it's correcto to bet/fold...but I don't think so in this scenario.

That King is too likely to complete a strait

You're forgetting that, save for an AJ gutshot, the King does not complete any additional straights than were already completed on the turn.
