I know you asked the other Barron ... but there is a reason you are feeling what you're feeling.

agreed...that river AF of yours is low...1.5 something...gotta step it up.
one thing you should note is that if somebody calls from the blinds and you have KJo and the flop is Q83 rb and he check and calls and you hit a J on the turn and he check and calls again and he checks to you on a blank river, you have to bet it after he checks. maybe thats an obvious example but the point is if somebody checks and calls the whole hand, he'll do it on the river a lot, so BET your marginal hands for value.

that's a pretty easy bet for me...i do have trouble doing things like value betting bottom pair and good aces when i think they'll call with A high...also a lot of times if i get check-raised on the turn and he checks to me on the river i wuss out and check-behind a lot even with mid pair type hands that are usually easy value bets.
i think my 1.74AF is on the low side but its an improvement from 2 months ago when it was 1.22 and i was "running bad" and i think that not value betting enough is one of the biggest leaks most ppl have (me included)

This is basically a guess. But I imagine that since baronzeus plays a lot of more marginal holdings pretty aggressive on the flop and turn, he's probably in fewer positions to value bet on the river than you might expect.
