regarding the flop check, I do agree that betting flop would be optimal. Only reason I didn't was because I 3bet him 2 times previously and took it after a c-bet and I had thrash hands then too. I felt that he would prolly bluff raise me this time so hence the check.

Turn I could see both betting and checking here. But considering that the hand checked through on the turn, isn't a river raise mandatory here? I agree that if I bet turn, I should most likely just call river.

BTW, this hand was just a line check and by no means asking for help on the river cause I believe that it's a really easy fold on the river.

Way played, I think that the river raise is quite standard, anyone wanna tell me why it's not?
