NL10 Hit two pair on River from BB

Have to agree with pterodactyl, betting the flop will only get you into trouble. Sure, he is holding a marginal hand, but what if you get raised on the flop? Now, you have put yourself in a difficult situation with middle pair.

I understand that you have to be aggressive, but not with this hand. On the turn, I think you could put in a bet because your opponent showed some weakness with a check on the flop.

On the river, I think that you play is standard. I look forward to seeing your opponent turning over Ace Rags)(A9 or lower) or A4 for a lower two pair. I would discount him having a set because, with that would he not just put you allin when you reraised him?

why bet the flop? you have showdown value and are only getting value from draws which have good equity anyways when in position against your marginal hand. i think the hand was played well, aside from probably betting the turn just to protect my hand.

Checking flop oop is ok imo. I def bet the turn if the flop goes check/check, river is ok.
