    Default Value bet river?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG ($15.40)
    UTG+1 ($53.75)
    MP1 ($37.75)
    MP2 ($51.60)
    givememyleg ($60.05)
    Button ($14.95)
    SB ($42.35)
    BB ($59.85)

    Preflop: givememyleg is CO with T, T.
    UTG calls $0.50, 3 folds, givememyleg raises to $2.5, 1 fold, SB calls $2.25, 1 fold, UTG folds.

    Flop: ($6) K, 9, 2 (2 players)
    SB checks, givememyleg bets $4, SB calls $4.

    Turn: ($14) 6 (2 players)
    SB checks, givememyleg checks.

    River: ($14) K (2 players)
    SB checks, givememyleg .....

    Not a big enough sample for stats, and no strong reads on sb. I had been cbetting nearly all my pf raises and was running around 20/9 or so. I just don't see what checks the turn/river that has me beat. I highly doubt he checks a flush twice and doubt he checks trips/boat on the river. Would a 1/2 pot or so vb have a weaker hand look me up or should I just check behind?

    Your loosing, lolololololololololol
    What weaker hand will look you up here? 77/88? It seems that any hand like A9 that called your flop bet thinking you were FOS would be inclined to believe you if you value bet the river. I think I check behind here for the 20% of the time someone is weirdly checking their weak trips/weak flush/etc.

    Well, what about betting 1/2 psb to prevent me from showing down and showing weakness? I checked behind the turn, and if I check behind the river also, someone could notice this and think I may be inclined to fold if he fired here.... Maybe it is just better to check behind here? Perhaps they will see not all my cbets are fos, but at the time I just felt like I had the best hand and felt inclined to bet here.

    People let me tell you about my best friends...
    I think you bet $6-7, 'cause it's a tough call, and a slowplayed flush or boat will prob raise, then you can fold.
