2 pair faces aggression...how's my line?

Thanks for the repsonse.

Yes, no arguement for my turn bet...gross.

In your opinion, why do you feel this a better spot to check/call as opposed to leading out with a blocking bet and folding to a raise? My thinking was that if I check (and show weakness again), I leave myself open to being bluffed.

Given the line you suggest, what size bet on the river should I be calling?

dregal, let me explain why

Say I had K,Q and I'm the opponent, if you make a small bet on the turn, when you check on the river I'm going to think your hand is fairly weak. I will not want to just check and give you a showdown for free. I feel I have the best hand and I will want to make a value bet since you called my raise on the turn, however I will not want to bet too much and get you to fold quickly, by checking on the river you will make me fearful that you will fold to anything but a small bet.

This is why you should check, because than you will see the $45 bet that you made on the river only you'll get to find out if you win the pot or not with that bet,
