    Default Ballsy check on the river?

    Villain was 39/17, sharkscope has him as a fish. I'm not all that happy with my flop play here, board was draw heavy and I gave him a free card, you should probably ignore it.

    Turn play: is calling the best option here? At this point I'm going "oh shit, shouldn't have given him the freebie".

    River: Ballsy, clever or risky? I thought about it for a bit and figured a check was inducing all kinds of action from weaker hands that a lead (namely a push) probably wouldn't.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

    Well played. I don't see him checking behind on the river and this board is such that if he can't bet at it, he isn't giving you action. I doubt he's raising the turn with a Jack or worse.
