Why did you check the river? Wouldn't it be with the intention of check/raising? I can live with a river check/raise, though I think that leading out is likely to get you paid off more....

Please bet the river.

Why wouldn't you bet the river?

Do we fold to a raise if we bet river?

I'm really not trying to be results oriented, but my first venture into NL has been rough, I understand variance etc. but it seems in most cases... the second nuts is never good... in this case the villian had 98, and I was trying to protect and not force myself to a tricky decision if raised.... am I that wrong here?

Yeh, I reckon we call any small raise if we bet the river, as he could easily have 6x.

Depends on size.

I would bet the river, probably around $20. You'd get paid off by a lot of hands that wouldn't bet if you checked. Villain only has like $40 left on the river, so if he shoves I'd probably end up calling that as well.

Good point, I didn't even notice stack sizes.

getting a 25bb stack to stick it all in when i have a straight is damn near a wet dream

You should definitely have bet out on the river and wanted to get all in given stack sizes, simple as that.
