Value-raise bigger on the river.

Other than that I like every street. Well played.

Meh, its fine...

His river raise is scary since your hand is basically face up, yet he still re pops the river. However, there are enough possibilities and a large enough likely hood that he could have AK, AA, KK, and sometimes a hand like QhJh, as well as two pair hands like KT and AT that calling his river re raise I think is fine.

Also, I make my river raise a tad bit larger.
