river is a borderline call. i also bet the turn here and im done with the hand after that. a turn bet can act as a blocker because its likely he wont fire on the river thinking we will be it for him so we allow ourselves to get to showdown cheaper. also it still charges a flush draw.

because you didnt bet the turn i think we have to call the river. 3/4 PSB on turn and fold to any further aggression and check river if checked to

I think the turn check is fine
It induces a bluff from a busted flush draw or sth like AK, AQ.
So the river call is automatic.

Definitely bet turn. Come on. Make him pay for his flush or straight draw.

[ImprovinNewbie]

why are you checking the turn?

[Sir Winalot]

Bet turn. As played I think river is OKish.

I think this is fine. Most times though, you'll see alot of hands like TT/88/JJ/etc and I would probably have bet the turn. I'm not too concerned with the straight/flush draws given PF action.

I think youve played it fine here. I would call the riverbet. If you are going to check the turn, he is going to bet A) if hes got a hand and B) if hes missed. If he had trips, str8 or overpair, I think he would be betting for value and therefore betting less than $25.

Im putting him on a busted flush draw.

I think this hand is played fine. He raised pf and called your rr, most likely he's not on the flush draw unless he specifically has AdKd

And why would we want to give him free cards to catch up?

flop fine, turn needs betting
