1. you shouldnt talk during hands. in every case ive seen you do this you clarify for your opponents where youre at more than you confuse them.

2. you should bet the river and let dd call you with all sorts of worse hands. if he raises you can make a thin call and lose only a little EV. unfortunately the mistake of talking on the turn may have messed this otherwise great river line up.
