50nl KJo 2 pair on river
 

Villian is 20/2 thru about 40 hands. No reads other than that. Do I check this river or make a bet? What can you put villian on after the flop and turn action?

i think this is an easy call. i would play the same

Looks like he's drawing with the passive line or trying to slow playing TJ or a set. Slow playing would be stupid on this wet board though.

I definitely bet the river after hitting top two. I probably call the push. You could see any two clubs, any king, worse 2 pair. If he turns over Q9 I wipe the tears from my keyboard and keep playing.

I'm calling

If I play KJo from the button, I raise and make a strong cb on this TPWK flop.

Having limped, TPWK just isn't worth my stack, so I bet the flop, check the turn, and make a blocking bet at the river. If I suspect a draw, on a board like this, then I bet the turn, and check behind on the river if I still have TPWK.

In the hand, as played, I think villain has exactly Q9 for a straight on the river. However, I think I call and hope he has a missed flush draw or KT.
