Final Pot: 10.25 BB

Checking the turn is good? I think I might have bet it if one of my opponents folded on the flop. Should I have just check/folded the river? What if it was heads on the river?

Too easy? Too hard? Too marginal?

Im confused...please help.

Thanks,

I like the flop and turn action. I'd check and possibly call this river.

the limping is fine preflop

the bet on the flop is great

the turn check is good, if you bet and get reaised then you know you can fold unimproved on the river, but checking isn't that weak

river heads up i would check/call

this is a bad bet on the river, no hand you beat is going to call, and no hand that beats you is going to fold (even a 4 will call)

if you checked here, with MP1 betting and button calling, a fold is easy.
