1. Calls on the end can never be huge mistakes. Even Chip Reese says that if ever you have to make a "defensive call" you do it on the river. However you don't make money at stud making tough folds on the river.

2. I generaly give people with trash boards alot of respect, because they probably aren't bluffing since thier board isn't scary.

3. Checking on the river isn't a bad thing. It can save you money, and also discourage people from making value bets/bluffs. Generally in 3 way pots, it makes more sense to check if you are in a situation of straight vs Flush + 2pair.
