Another River

I can't fold the river here, can I???
I've already looked at my play on the other streets, and I'm really only interested in advice on the river play.

i'd fold preflop, also why did you check/raise the flop?

Call the river knowing the only thing you beat is a bluff. But you should not be in this situation as you should fold against the raise preflop. Sorry, I know you said you only wanted comments on the river, but your first mistake got you there.

I don't get the flop check/raise. I would either bet or check/call.

Gotta fold to the river raise. You should have considered check/calling this river. It appers that MP3 is drawing and he will probably fold if he missed and raise if he hits. If you think that MP3 will call all this way with 5 outs or less then bet/folding is fine.

Yeah, i'm not thrilled about the rest of the hand, as I mentioned in the OP.

The preflop call, whatever.

The flop cr was silly, but I was certain I had the best hand.
