Hand 1:
-Button has been giving me little respect on several of my tables. Calling me down with marginal hands after i have been the aggressor on several streets. Though he's been mostly passive so far, at 22/10/1

River:

($70, 2 players)

Hand 2:

-I generally re-raise stronger PF, but I actually didn't think UTG+1 would cold call a raise and re-raise, and wanted to keep shorty button in the hand
-no reads on UTG+1, he's new to the table

Is checking the river in hand 1, with the intention of calling, a better line? or is bet/fold the best line? I rarely bet fold though, since I never find myself able to fold!
