I would have played it the same but I bet the river.

Grunch:

Don't raise PF, I don't think you're ever ahead on the flop, maybe check/fold?

Edit: I don't get it, why do we raise PF and then bet out the flop here? I'm thinking we have about 2 outs with the BD straight and flush draws, and even that is generous.

Uh, semibluff? This is an autobet on the flop.

Sadly, I play the hand the same way. A good player would bet the river, but it seems 99% of the time, to me, I am up against someone with Ax who just wants to see a showdown cheaply. They will always call, but never raise or bet it themselves.

Why did you check the turn? You know nothing about the opponents hands. Get some info, or get some folds.

What info can you gain with a turn bet? If they call they have a pair or a flush draw.

If you check and they bet they have a draw or a piece of the board.

Preflop, flop and turn are good, I bet the river.
