I'd like to see a bet on the turn. I like the call on the river to encourage an overcall from the button.

what is your plan if the button raises

Button here is the main concern. While his range is probably larger than just AA[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] on the turn, he's probably going to fold all but ones that are beating us, which will raise, and force us to call down with a losing hand.

If we check, he will bet the A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and check all others, gaining us information that we need.

As for the river, we know button doesn't have A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], but EP might have been trying some stupid fancy C/R with his A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] , so we call to try and get an overcall so we lose less when behind.

In the heat of it, I would probably have bet out the turn, but I think I like it here, given the relative position of the PF capper to us.

I like this.

By checking the turn, you were able to gain info that the button does not have the A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and you also avoided a potential check-raise by the EP. Avoiding the check-raise saves you money potentially, because it's not an auto-fold if you bet the turn and get check-raised.

By just calling the river bet, you will possibly pick up an overcall from the button. Gives you a chance to win the most and lose the least.
