I shove or check behind. A bet/fold line here on the river seems kind of ridiculous

that's stupid, guys like this aren't good enough to CR bluff. if i bet it would be like half the pot, i guess i can see a shove ONLY if meta dictated it, but if you have NOT played for stacks with this guy before, i think you should just check and feel triumphant when he turns over his two pair.

it's one of those spots where vs a donk you can make a bet that not only increases your value on the hand when ahead but limits how much you lose on the hand when you're behind and he value slowplays two pair on the river.

usually, you're going to maximization in the form of shoving for value but when it's unclear how often you're ahead and hard for villian to call worse, i make tons of tweener bets which are totally fine when meta is irrelevant vs bad palyers.
