Does betting the river have value, or is it just a bad idea? I would never bet this river against a competent opponent, but against a fish, is 2-pair worth putting it out there and folding to a raise?

No, I am ok with checking here, he could have a 10 but scared of the flush and so not getting aggro for that reason. I think you played this hand well

That guy is dead money n e ways, pick a better spot to stack him...check is fine in my mind.

check is good but i think its kinda close espicially if you have and aggro image. his hand could easily be a K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]x that has a worse 2 pair, and fish will probably pay you if you've been pushing them around.

its close but i still like the check

I like betting the river.

You just aren't getting raised unless he flopped a royal. I see the line of check-call flop, check-call turn, (river blank) river c/r like never.

So the question is does he have an A or 2pair, or does he have a T. Since he called a flop bet he's not drawing to a gutshot without a FD too. I doubt he has a T unless he has KT (which he didn't raise) or TT with the T of clubs.
