No reads besides CO who is a huge donk and is likely to hold a J here.

I feel my bet on the river is a huge mistake. I pretty much gain nothing from lesser hands and loss a lot to better hands.
So should I have checked it?

im worried about button, the flop isnt great. Yeah river I think I check behind. Turn would be a check too imo, if there wasnt a f draw and a calling donkey in there.

I think button has pocket 3's...if he had to raise the turn, it would have been an insta fold...but why would he slowplay with a flush draw there?
