Is the river bet standard, or should I just check again ?

fold fast.
i'd check the river also.

i bet 4 on the flop and then u have to bet fold the river. turn looks fine. people dont raise the river without tha nutz or near nutz.

[Lurker.]

i changed my mind. i like blocking the river.

[kaz2107]

im bettin tha river for value against his likely range of holdings. i see him callin with 22+ and possibly even an A so i think there is a ton of value from betting this river. but after he raises we r donzo imo

Well played, bet more on flop though.

I like check calling on the river up to about 8. I think the flop bet is fine, I tend to make smaller cbets on paired boards and yes im aware of the 2 hearts. Maybe its a leak of mine. They almost never get called though unless opponent hit the flop or is holidng a pair in there hand.
