I don't know about any of this.

Peter - Fine.

The only question would be on the river (and betting this river is fine).

Assuming you get quartered, you end up with very close to the same amount whether you bet the river or not.

Assuming you don't get quartered, you end up with more by betting, even though MP2's 4th round raise probably knocks out Button.

You can't worry about getting sixthed or eighthed for low. And there's hardly any difference to your chip stack when you compare getting sixthed to getting quartered.

You played perfectly. I like betting the river better than checking.
