Default Re: when to slow down

I c/f the river in hand one and check behind on the river in two.

One thing I really hate about being OOP and checking on the river is that, in situations where you want to showdown, it allows your opponent to play correctly, in that he'll bet better hands, but check worse ones behind you. However, in hand one, this is pretty much what you want to happen. Any better hand will bet, and just about any worse hand (no pair) will check, and I'd rather miss a bet the small number of times I'm ahead than lose one the large amount of times I'm not. If you've got a real weak image, or your opponent is very aggressive, this might change.
