Say you have 65dd and have raised on the button, the BB calls.

Flop is 2 4 8 with two diamonds.

BB checks, you bet half pot and BB flat calls.

Turn is a K of spades.

BB checks, and you bet again half pot...he again calls.

River is a 5.

BB checks.  Now what you have here is a hand with some showdown value as you have a chance of winning this pot a %age of the time, with just 3rd pair. You could value bet however it is so unlikely that you will get called by worse that it is best to just check as you have reasonable showdown value. 

If the BB was on a diamond draw it is likely you will win; if he had some weird 4 and couldn't fold you will probably win.
