The guys on the blinds where tight.
SB 12/3/0 over 94 hands and BB 15/4/4 over 339
So I was stealing when it was folded to me.
First time they called
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

MP ($10.10)
CO ($10.10)
Hero (Button) ($10)
SB ($18.80)
BB ($9.60)
UTG ($8.80)

Preflop: Hero is Button with ,
3 folds, Hero bets $0.30, SB calls $0.25, BB calls $0.20

Flop: ($0.90) , , (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($0.90) (3 players)
SB bets $0.70, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.70

River: ($2.30) (2 players)
SB bets $2, Hero?

Range is pretty much a pocket pair or a Broadway.
The flop, I did not want to get c/r and blown off my hand so I check behind.
Turn hits the Sb range alot, so I just call and plan to raise the river.
The River almost full pot bet I did not like. KT, JT with a club, he flopped the flush or had a set. Another iffy spot for me.
Raising is no longer an option really since the only King I think he calls is AK, and since he is so passive he might even fold it.
So River call or fold?

 WHY R U CHECKING FOP!!?#??#%

Bet the flop for info or to make draws pay. Now you have no idea where your at for the rest of the hand. Fold as played

okay bet flop.
It is not that I did not know where I was in the hand. I had two pair
against a tight passive player.
On that flop his range that hits is a set AJ,AT,AQ,KQ,QJ,JT etc with a club or two clubs.
On the King turn I expected a bet from KJ,KQ,KT,AK. The river bet was also expected and I planned to raise but his bet sizing was throwing me off. I had him pegged as a tight passive player. For him to go check then bet strong and again bet strong, I knew something had gone wrong. In retrospect I should have bet the flop for value and folded to any aggression from the opponent.

you are bad and you should feel bad
what happens to the value of your hand if that glorius 7 or club rolls off on the turn?

just let everyone fold the flop and be happy with 90 cents
ALTERNATIVELY if someone calls bet the turn and enjoy your $2

now call the river and expect to win 40% of the time or something

 You sed:

Range is pretty much a pocket pair or a Broadway. -probably leaning towards a PP

The flop, I did not want to get c/r and blown off my hand so I check behind. if they c/r you probably bomb bc a birron draws are possible here

Turn hits the Sb range alot, so I just call and plan to raise the river. -Maybe it does, but how often does he have more than one pair? Why are you giving him chacnes to suck out?

The River almost full pot bet I did not like. KT, JT with a club, he flopped the flush or had a set. Another iffy spot for me. -This is iffy bc you did nothing up to this point to better define anyone's range

Raising is no longer an option really since the only King I think he calls is AK, and since he is so passive he might even fold it.
So River call or fold? -I fold.
