And I guess maybe I should have made a blocking bet?

I bet that turn stronger, the boards getting nasty. $8 or so IMO.

As played worst river possible, you could bet $8-9 but I do the same as you here I think. Villain's probably got 66 enough here to screw you over.

Ya, I'm kind of regretting that.
