fine

you played it well,but i think you should of bet for value on river.mp3 showed no strenght throughout the hand.the river is a scare card but even so u denied him odds to call on every street,so he already made two mistakes,i think his most likely holdings is a weaker ace.getting extr bets like this is how good players make there money.if he draws out thats poker and u did nothing wrong

Villain seems like he's drawing to me, so I'd rather show down here than risk getting check-raised by the flush.

Pearl I do think that villian has a weaker Ace. He would likely have raised PF or would have bet the flop not check/call.

So checking behind on the river is a better, I do not see any hands that we are ahead of calling our value bet and we will never fold anything that beats us here.
