Any opinions on betting Top 2 Pair from the button as long as it's checked to you? Not boat, flush or straight possible.

When else may it be correct if at all?

Are you talking about on the river or earlier in the hand?

Couple nights ago I had A 8 2 6 on the button playing 08 3/6. Flop came with 2 diamonds I jammed on the flop. Turn paired the board. Checked to me so I checked as well. River was a diamond and it's checked to me again so I bet figuring nobody was sandbagging a boat and I was right. (no possible low)

It really all depends on your reads of the other players in the hand and what you put them on. I'd bet top 2 pair in the right situation, especially if it's checked to me on the button.

Yes, on the river. I had a couple identical situations a few nights ago. One was checked to me on the turn, river was checked as well. Another, the board was paired, checked to me on the turn and river again.

I bet at both pots and both went to showdown. I won with top 2 pair. I figured that anyone with trips or a boat would have bet. This is at micro limits but I'm guessing the same would apply to low limits as well, possibly to a lesser extent.

Without specific reads on my opponents, I would avoid betting two pair, especially on a paired board or three of a suit an definitley not on the flop. There are too many possible hands that beat you, or draw you out on the turn.
If you put all your faith in the river, you are up shit's creek
