Do you like checking behind in the turn? I did that to extract from a possible pair of kings... Does my river raise has value?

What you think about this hand?

Checking behind on the turn is fine, but why are you raising the river? What worse hand calls? He could have A7 and now be sitting there with aces up.

I agree... I shouldn't raise the river...

But, if the flop had 2 clubs, would you check the turn anyway?

Everything seems fine, except just call the river. I don't get that raise at all.
