Villain is unknown. I checked the turn without realizing I had made 2 pair. Once I noticed, I figured I needed to check-raise value.

That $12 donklead looks really weak to me, as does the PFR's call. It's hard to think the flop leader can have a huge hand given his PF action. How often do you think I will take this down and would you ever just call it and peel a turn?
-----

I sometimes limp, raise or fold this hand preflop.

With exception of preflop, does anybody play the turn differently? I figured pot control was decent here and I could evaluate the river and make a decision.
