Villian is a Tagish kind of passive kind of tricky player. Ok I guess. Comments on all streets very welcome. I think his turn bet is often a diamond draw/top pair. Axs very possible too. Flopped boat is possible too. Basically I'm in a tricky spot on the river. How best to maximize value and minimize loss here?
