River: (6.75 BB) Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, intending to call.

Preflop is standard, and I pretty much autobet the flop after raising preflop (unless I have missed and am up against 3+ players). The turn card felt like it was just giving me enough to stay in, perhaps bet/fold to a raise is better?

For the river, I felt bet/fold, check/call and check/fold were all valid options. Felt a bit lost on this one really.

Edited to add: Part of the reason I checked the turn was because if it went bet:raise to me, I would save a bet.

I'm not sure about the turn check, because I don't want to see this one get checked through. A raise would be tough to deal with though because he could be raising with a hand you have beat. I think I'd bet and call down if raised.

Given the way you played the turn, I think a check-call is fine, although a bet/fold to a raise seems like a decent option as well since he may check behind a lower pair or weaker king but if he raises he almost certainly has you beat.

You must bet this turn.

Your play makes no sense. You have two opponents and top pair/top kicker. You are a solid favorite to win the hand. Giving a free card on this three-flush board is dangerous. After you bet the turn, you should bet the river and plan to be called by 44.

The fact that you think check-folding is valid option on the river is really bizarre.
