The button here seems to be a very good lag and we're both sitting on double stacks. I want to know if I played this hand correctly. I hate the damn mini raise on the turn.

I bet a little over half pot thinking he would raise

River: ($74, 2 players)
What's my move here?

Check/call on the river.

I think he'll either have nothing or have you beat. Your bet on the flop and turn signalled weakness so he might have made a lame attempt to steal on the turn, or he's slowplaying. If you bet he'll fold when he has nothing and raise when he has you beaten, so it will win you nothing when you're ahead and lose a lot when you're behind.

Having said that I don't like your bets on the flop or the turn, either bet bigger or check.

Please push on the turn....that is all.
