I might be tempted to raise the river but I think you played it right.

Also not much reason to get tricky and checkraise, just bet bet bet.

How can you check-raise here? You are last to act. If you check, every one sees the turn for free.

You played this fine. It looks like you lost to a str8 but there was nothing you could do. Check raising the flop was not an option as you acted last.

whoops. You are correct. And yes, I lost to a straight.
