River Bet: Value Bet, or Big Hairy Donkey Bet?

[RadioMike]

Hi Guys,

I've been 3-tabling a lot of $3-6 on Full Tilt, and it's been going well lately. These hand posts have helped greatly. I had this hand tonight and I'm still not sure if I played it right, especially my bet on the river.

The eventual villian is 20/13/1.26 over 80 hands.

I will read your replies and check in Monday afternoon and see if my reasoning was, um, reasonable.
