This is yet another demonstration of why I hate being out of position. I'm obviously afraid of scaring the guy away. That's why I just called the flop and the turn. However, I'm not going to be caught with my pants down when the river goes check-check. I don't know this guy well enough to be confident that he will fire again.

How do you guys feel about my check-call, check-call, lead out way of playing this? How about the size of the river bet?

On the turn, I actually thought there was a good chance he had a pretty good hand. However, like I said, I wasn't sure if it was something he'd go to the felt with.

I did what I thought I should to get maximum value on the river.

Thoughts?
