Default Bluff the river?

Should I bluff the river? Should I have bet the turn? Bet the flop? Push or raise preflop?

I think he has enough chips that he'll call with anything.

I don't think your chipstack has enough to make a good river bet and personally, I don't like moving in with 10 high. For my style, I tend to throttle back on the bluffing when I can't afford it although I might move in on a flop with the nut flush draw but that's different. And I wouldn't do it against three opponents.

Further, a guy like BIG_GAY_AL might just look you up cause you're cute.

I wouldn't have bet the turn. You likely won't get three folds and you are putting in valuable chips on a 18% draw that might not even win.

Big Al may just be on the same draw that you are and fold here. Likely not trapping this far into the hand w/ a multiway pot. I say it's 50/50.
