Comments on river check. Did I wimp out?

[Peter Harris]

funnily enough, i don't think you wimped out. At 1/2 i would be very wary of the river c/r. I can't see why anyone else would "call along" after the flop with out AJ/AT...and putting both on those 2 hands would be an error, i think.

Comments welcome. But I advocate the river check with TPTK here 3-way with the river flush possibility.

I don't know how different 1/2 is, but at .5/1 I would definitely bet the river. You've got TPTK and the only real fear is a flush. If someone sat on 2 pair or a set at least you win Sklanksy bucks. I think you easily win this 50% of the time.
