Typically. Once in awhile, I might raise and fold to a 3-bet against certain opponents.

95% of the time I just call after I check the turn. This is because usually he is either bluffing or has trips in which case a raise accomplishes nothing. But in some cases, an opponent might be quite the calling station and somewhat tenacious (esp if ur turn check confused him). If he is the type to typically call a raise in this spot with a little pocket pair or if the river was some kind of paint where I believe he may have hit two pair and would pay off, then I may raise. Also, if the right paint comes, you may not be reraised by a 10 b/c he fears the monster boat, adding some value.

But yea, typically I'm just calling.

yeah. I sometimes check the turn with something like a weak top pair planning to raise the a river bet because they get confused and pay off with total crap. this situation is quite a bit different though.
