I kinda hate the way I played this hand. At the very least I think I should've checked behind on the river.

This is fine and if he had you beat with anything here he played it badly.

You played it great!

Why on earth would you want to check trough the river?

Why do you think you played it badly? What was your rationale for betting versus checking and why wasn't that what you thought you should have done?

Ok question.... When do u think it would have been appropriate to not bet the river? Because he might c/r, and if he calls, he most likely has you beat with hearts, QJ, AK, AT, etc. I feel like sometimes i cost myself bets on the river when i bet a marginal hand on the river (i believe TPGK on this board is considered marginal).
