Pitiful river action

[Jester999]

The table is a stable full of donkeys and as you'll soon find out that includes me. This river action is pitiful. I no longer have the nuts on the river but I really shouldn't fear them either. What would you bet on this river? (As an aside, I was really hoping someone with a naked 4 would raise me on the turn.)
