    Default 2 pair OOP on connected board

    Ok, no reads on any villains, had only played 1 round. This is a table at Cereus (UB) where you can buy in for 200bb on any table.

    Opinions on preflop please as well, cause I can see merit in calling as well as in raising there. Also now that we've reached river what is our best action? Personally I think considering the strength we've shown on flop and turn and his passiveness troughout the hand it makes it less likely for him to be bluffing river and he'll check back any hands with some showdownvalue. Correct?

    No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    saw flop

    Button ($22.20)
    Hero (SB) ($199.40)
    BB ($110.25)
    UTG ($125.50)
    MP ($133.65)
    CO ($50.47)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with 10, 8
    1 fold, MP calls $1, 1 fold, Button calls $1, Hero calls $0.50, BB checks

    Flop: ($4) Q, 8, 10 (4 players)
    Hero checks, BB checks, MP checks, Button bets $2, Hero raises $8, 1 fold, MP calls $8, 1 fold

    Turn: ($22) 7 (2 players)
    Hero bets $16, MP calls $16

    River: ($54) 9 (2 players)
    Hero?

    flattin ur 4bets, makin u tilt
    i would prefer leading or just check/calling the flop and considering donking a lot of turns. as played, turn bet is fine and id c/f the river.
    My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

    flop play because of pot control I assume? If I get any real action there he'll either have sets/draws with lots of outs.

    I did c/f to a 44$ bet on river.

    check-raising the flop allows your opponent to get away from hands that you want him to call with (one pairs and bluffs), while re-opening the betting for hands that you don't want to be against(sets, better two pairs, straight/flush/overcard draw combos).
