total unknowns...I just sat

Sometimes I bet the flop, but I didn't want to build a huge pot 3-way here.

My thoughts on the river is that I thought I could get some thing value from a weaker A and he would only bet with a flush or a K.</font>

Why the hell did you bet the river? He is never calling with worse, let him bet. As for folding for 14, am I missing something here or does only a K, AQ or a flush beat you?

bet flop because you are ahead of their calling range. i.e. fds/smaller pairs /weaker aces will call you. you have to bet turn if you check flop for pot control? I assume that's why you did it.

bet turn for value.
