5-handed 2/4. Hero is the Button.
Not much info on SB except that in the four orbits since he sat down he's been very laggy preflop (approaching maniacal) and frequently checkraises postflop. Hard to put him on a hand because he's played way more than his fair share and hasn't gone to showdown much (he's been winning a lot of pots with aggression).
UTG is a calling station (74/2 over 150 hands) and plays weakly postflop.
----- PREFLOP ----- dealt to Hero [5 5 ]
UTG calls, MP folds, Hero raises, SB raises, BB folds, UTG folds, Hero calls
----- FLOP ----- [6 7 3]
SB bets, Hero raises, SB calls
----- TURN ----- [6 7 3][A]
SB checks, Hero checks
----- RIVER ----- [6 7 3 A][K]
SB checks, Hero checks
Did I miss any value bets here? Given the cards that fell on the turn/river and the fact that villian liked to checkraise, was I justified in checking behind on both streets, or did I play it too weakly?
Also, not sure if I played this right preflop given the table texture. Any comments?

You re-raised the flop, so rep the ace on the turn. He probably would have folded here.

If you do go ahead and bet the turn, is it correct to fold if raised?

Given our opponent's profile, this hand was played perfectly.

If you don't bet the turn to represent the Ace (fold to a checkraise), bet the river. I sense a busted draw more than overcards at that point.

Stupid-easy checks on the turn + river.
How often do you think a worse hand calls or a better one folds with this opponent profile? Why the hell would you risk betting into an inspired and well-timed river check/raise bluff?

Yeah your right, read this one too quickly leaving work.
