I sounds like you are playing a bit by rote. Maybe too much so. I'm not sure if this is helpful but have you read the river chapter in King Yao's book "Weighing the Odds in Hold'em Poker"? He goes through correct river play heads-up very nicely and it sounds like you could use another perspective on it (and there is math too [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ).
