I play like Scuba

I was thinking of Scuba's A3s hand the other day while playing this hand. Is this how Scuba would play it? Does that make it right?

Having some sort of read or more background info would be definitely nice here (like knowing the buy-in, for example), but as it is, I think I fold to the river bet. The overbet looks too much like some smart ass trying to make money out of his full house.

Edit: just saw the buy-in. The call is ok, I guess. The average $55 player will use a 1/2 pot or 2/3 pot value bet more often than not here.

It says it's a PS 55 Turbo.

i think it looks like he puts you on having a pair and he's trying to represent a flush at the end.

I'm guessing he has A4 (non heart I hope)

Hey, this isn't a quiz! Please, commence mocking of my play on all streets. Would the real Scuba played it like this?

No, but I would have played the hand. I like your line though. Particularly the river.

Folding on the river would be completely insane. I would have checked the flop also, and wouldn't have checked the river.

How would you have played the river and why?

Id probably bet the flop and the turn. If I thought villian was a complete cs I would bet the river too. If I thought he was drawing to the str8 I would check it and let him give me some more $$.
