SB probaly has somethinng like A4 or KT, but after he calls my flop raise I would not like to get involved any more and just call it down.

I'd probably call the turn and hope he decided to bet the river with something I was beating.

Yes, in here I raised one too many times. After opponent calls the flop he's telling me he's got something. On the turn he's repeating that fact [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Here it's best to call down and hope that my something is better than his something.

Hero checks

Pot Size: $23.25 ($1.15 Rake)

The turn raise is fine. Check the river like you did and note the guy. As for calling that is a fine move too and v bet him on river if he checks to you and note him for it too.
