Totally botched river play?

[Q8offsuit]

Hello all. I would appreciate thoughts on all streets buts esp. the river which I think I played horribly. SB is unimpressive. BB is pretty solid.

Texas Hold'em $0.25-$0.50 (real money)

Check through the river? Since I didn't and was in auto-value bet mode, is anyone folding for one more bet on his river check-raise? Thanks for all thoughts. <font color="red"> </font>

Your play was fine. Don't kick yourself over it. BB, even being solid, could easily have something like Q9s here and think his 2 pair might be good.

Checking behind is OK I suppose too. But I think it's close in the long run either way. You'll be called on the end by a losing hand more times than you're behind I think.

solid should have checkraised the flop, other then that your play was fine /images/graemlins/wink.gif

He can't checkraise the flop when he's last to act, and it's checked to him.
