    You can thin valuebet the river I believe. I think checking OOP is fine too as some players might attempt a bluff you can easily pick off, and if he checks behind you gain some info on how he plays.

    Yeah I agree thin value bet as said, I think a check wasn't such a bad idea considering you had only 5 hands on them. Nice hand

    Leading is probably basic, but for some reason I never do this and I'm probably losing value for it. What are some situations to look for that are best to lead?
