Curtain's Hand #2, 1C5

[1C5]

Had converter not working, you get the raw hand this time. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

2 questions I had...river, why check as opposed to a small bet and what size bet do you call on the river since you checked?

I think checking the river has the benefit of losing less to a flush, and making more from marginal hands like pairs below jacks that would fold to a bet but would take a stab after a check. I would probably calls any bet less than or equal to the pot.
