Re: River Explosion

Why? I see no reason to check the turn.
Because if you never check good hands twice then when you do check the turn, your opponents will be all too happy to bet you off your overcards/gutshots/etc. that you'd like to see a river card with.

That may be a valid point if you're playing short-handed against your usual group of regulars. Against a loose field of unknown tourist, that is not an important consideration.
The biggest problem with checking good hand twice is that you're letting the worse players (people who'd call with almost anything) off cheaply.
I think he should fold here since the pot is not that big, and it is likely he's up against a straight.
