Preflop raise is somewhat meh at this level. It is 5-handed so that is a plus for it, I suppose.

Do you really think your river bet takes it down over half the time 3-way? Board is real coordinated and you might get called with any piece. I think it's slightly -EV.

Also, play full stacked. Reload preflop.

Is checking flop and turn fine? I am always confused, if bluffs and continuation bets should be used on this level.

CB's should be used at all levels. Especially heads-up. Here, you are 3-way with both players behind you, with a flush draw and a straight draw possible. It's wise to not CB in this position. And the more you CB the more feel you'll have for when and when not to CB.

Bluffing should be done rarely at this level. Mostly taking small one-barrel shots at small pots.

Continuation bets have worked well for me against the right opponents at this level. If its not heads up, I usually don't cb. Im currently at this same level so maybe the advanced players will have more to say about this.

If you don't have poker tracker you should see about using it if you don't.
