I checked the turn because the preflop minraise / flop call made me fear that he had KK. Should I bet here ? And on the river is there any value in raising ? I guess I have to fold to his reraise anyway, the only hand I beat here might be a weirdly played AA.

I think just calling the river here is pretty bad. I think you get looked up with a K or sometimes even any pair a lot.

I don't think you should fold to the reraise either. It's true that you don't beat a whole lot, but I think he'll show up with enough weird hands here because you checked the turn.

You should be betting the turn here. There are no draws on this board, so there is a good chance he holds a K or another pair with which he is willing to call. As it's the forth hand many players try to get reads on opponents, and will call all three streets with top pair.

I would half pot the turn and, if called, 3/4 pot the river.

As played I am pushing this. This is a hand with which I am willing to commit my stack.
