Short handed, $2/$4 NL,

All folds around to 5th position who limps,
Button Folds,
I call from SB with Jc,10s,
BB checks

FLOP 6s 4h 8d,

I bet $12, BB calls, Button folds

Turn Jd,

I bet $20, BB calls,

River 5c

I bet $15, BB raises to $15, I insta fold, He shows 97 straight

I thought he hit it but thought I should bet incase he was calling down with top pair. SHould I have bet???

well you haven't really given any reads on button. given that you bet on two streets i'd probably just check the river. what would he be folding here to a bet?

Bet more on the river. And obviously fold. Looks pretty standard.
