I get a pair on the river

[C-Dog]

On the river I made a pair, so is the call ok at this point. Should I have just bet the turn, even though it didn't seem like anyone was going anywhere?

SB is 41/0/2.29 over 29 hands. (In general I would call him your typical loose passive PP player, that isnt going to bet unless they have the goods, or you have shown weakness.)

BB is new to the table, only 8 hands in my DB on him total.

If SB or BB had folded, I would bet the turn but I think it is just spewage to bet into both of them again. I'd play it the same way you did.

River call seems fine. Against this type player I am more inclined to fire again on the turn because I think they CAN fold bottom pair &amp; sometimes 2nd pair. If my turn bet is called I will fire again on the river when I make my pair.
