River - doesn't matter

Re: Royal - How do I play it?
 

Don't raise preflop, and if you do, don't minraise.

Once you see this flop after a minraise, don't even *think* about betting it because you are so far behind you can't see daylight, and being checkraised with a good draw sucks.

The turn's about right given that somebody's got trip aces.
