I like the flop check if you didn't have the nut flush draw....look at the hand you have on the turn and look how much money is in the pot......river - as played, if this is never a bluff by villain you just have to estimate how often this is ever a smaller two-pair....probably not often, but that I don't know....

River is a fold but it should go check/call since you showed so much weakness. I think you played it fine up until then though.

this is terrible. there are so many hands that check behind that would call a bet on the river. you really want to check the river given the flop check?

you're not fooling anyone with that flop check

this is pretty much an autobet board for a preflop raiser

I disagree.

Hero is so obviously weak that a good player should shove this river all day long. Why open ourselves up to that? We're going to bet the river, why? Full pot? So he can fold his weak ace, mid pair, missed draw? No...we should be checking so villian can bluff because he likely won't call with his the majority of his hand range.

Another alternative would be a very weak block bet, like $300ish. But I don't care too much for that.

please destroy this flop with monies. ure equity is HUUUGE here. as playd i think u may be stuck calling here? idk, the fact that u didnt bet the flop really confuses me here on what villain could have. T9 maybe, but idk if i would assume my implied were there enough of the time since u checkd the flop, if i were villain.
