Button calls t200, Hero checks.

I feel like I have just enough chips that I dont need to push and risk being trap'ed by Ax which they love to do at this level. And kind of like Id rather push 82 than JT which can double me up post-flop if I hit. Am I just wrong. Should I push?

Flop: (t625) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks,
Im not really sure why I decided to check. It just seemed good at the time. I guess I felt if I bet something like 600, he might just raise me with any two and then I'd have to fold. How do you respond to a raise? Is checking and seeing what he does better?

Button bets t8615 (All-In), Hero calls t4035 (All-In).

The guy is a donk which played into my decision. I didnt think he'd push 2 pair or a K, and would probably raise JQ and JA preflop. It just seeemd too much like he wanted me to fold. My call wound up being correct, but was it wise?

Turn: (t13275) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players, 2 all-in)
