I agree. I think not either. Bummer on the club on the river though.

[MrHorace]

Yeah, sucks huh. Who would play that hand in EP...especially after the flop.

[jmark]

Perfectly played. Just bite your tongue and collect the pot the next time.

The only thing you could do differently is consider a 3 bet on the river, but given the club and the probability you'd end up calling a 4 bet, I think calling the intial river raise is the right play.
