alright...in my quest to maximize value I'm posting hands where I think I screwed up. I might have been able to raise a little more on the flop....this guy is a 40/6 donkey. The board pairing on the turn coupled with his lead worried me a little so I just called (raise here? How much?) River bet seemed fine after he checked....I bet what I thought he'd call.
