With 2 checks in front of me, definitely bet. Not many people would check-raise after the turn was checked down. The possibility of being check-raised was low, you're likely to get called by a worse hand. It's a good bet, you just got unlucky.
The path
of the righteous man is beset on
all sides by the inequities of the
selfish and the tyranny of evil
men. Blessed is he who, in the
name of charity and good will,
shepherds the weak through the
valley of darkness, for he is truly
his brother's keeper and the finder
of lost children.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those
who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.
And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

Of course. I might have even three bet, though the threat of two pair with Aces up would probably have me just call the raise.

Was asking if it was a good value bet, which is an obvious "yes" judging by the posts here. It just seems I lose more money on these types of value bets (hit TPTK or similar on river, last to act, and checked to me). I get check raised and forced to pay off 2 pair more often than it gains me more bets it seems.Probably just the ol varience beast, as I only have 2.5k hands in on limit so far.And I swear I'll finish SSHE holdem soon and keep the dumb/easy questions to a minimum. It's just when I'm home, I can either put in a few hundred hands or read some more.. so yeah.

I'd definitely bet here. I probably wouldn't three-bet, as someone suggested above, though. Based on the hand to this point, there's no reason to think you're behind.
