Final Pot: t300

the blinds were low and everyone was playing pretty tight early so i completed frmo the SB. which i dont think is a bad play here on stars with T1500 starting stacks. the board pairing 4's scared me though. ive been burned a couple times by a paired board lately and didnt know if i was just being weak here becuase of it. or if this is a standard play.

I muck preflop with Party's shorter stack, but completing on a tight table with deeper stacks is probably ok too.

I really don't think you can bet the river without somekind of read on the villain. Your hand isn't that strong and with the big blind only 30, it's not worth risking a check raise or risk getting called down by a better hand.

I fold pre-flop.

But since you completed, I think your play was fine. I check the river here as well.
