Flopped 2-pair, dangerous river

Typical table, a little looser than normal. UTG has been very loose and aggressive. BB is tight/aggressive, but tends to call down a lot.

I was a little loose with my pre-flop call due to being on tilt from being recently rivered (just one of many during this session). My real question is the river -- anyone bet this? If so, do you call a check-raise?

Yes and yes.

Pretty straighforward value bet here I would think. UTG would have let you know he had a flush draw given your read on him and MP1 hasn't shown any signs of strength.

Bet the river.

This hand really freaked me out.

MP1 showed K4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] for a smaller two pair.
UTG showed 45 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] for the flush.

I can only assume that UTG was going for the river check-raise.

This also made me question my read on UTG, so I went back and reviewed the stats I had in PT on him.

Hands: 88
VP$IP: 56
PF Raise: 9%
Total Post-flop Agression: 2.11

I guess he was just taking a break this hand...
