With no reads on the SB I like the river check, but I might make it a little more on the turn than you did. Maybe 250-300?

Good check... I agree with Scotty_12 that you should have bet more on the turn. GJ in keeping it safe with no reads though.

Hey Mark,
You do a good job L3 with AK and AQ preflop. I like the flop check, I'd bet 1/2 pot on the turn and go from there.
