I would have slowed way down and check/called all the way. But then, I'm risk-averse.

Not good at all. If you're risk-averse, you shouldn't play poker. You need to take risks in poker a lot of them.

I'm not saying I don't like taking risks at all, I'm saying I'm choosier than most in deciding when to take them.

A small heads-up pot with this board and a ton of aggression against me rules out aggression on my part. Check/call or fold.

I think I'm going to blind myself.

Eh, it depends on the read. Chip stack. Am I close to all-in? Do it, of course. Am I way up for the night? Do it. Did I just sit down? Just wait. You don't have to win every hand, and getting into a pissing contest with an idiot on this board with a weak kicker is just looking for trouble.

Clearly, we play differently. I prefer to make moves when I am likely to be ahead.
