OK, I think I need some help here then.

I can't imagine betting on the river.

If it's a bluff, what better hands fold?
If it's for value, what worse hands call?

Please help.

yeh see above - betting the river would purely be a bluff. better hands that fold are weak hearts/trips scared of fourth heart.

But I have to bet a lot to fold out a 9, right? So he has to 1) have a 9 a lot and 2) fold it to my bet a lot for that to be right.

What size bet do you think is best for folding out the hearts? In my experience, they always call, but I don't know if I'm just betting the wrong amount..

By the way, I'm not trying to be too argumentative .. I'm just trying to understand. I wanted to bet during the hand, but I couldn't convince myself to do it.

Without knowing Villain's stats, I would have played it the same way.

The only other play I may have tried would have been a 1/2 pot bet or a little less to try to simulate a value bet. I must admit that I have not played rivers well in the past, though.

agreed i think bluffing the river here is very marginal esp. against an unknown.

I'd play it exactly like you did, unless I was certain villain was one who could lay a 9 or a low flush.
