so what's the right play on the river
u hear a straight or 2 pair on the turn then hit your money card on the rivre
do you lead out and get ready to cap it cuz' u know this guy is either going to overplay his two pair or beat you with the straight
or you choose the most risk averse play and just check call...perhaps getting some overcalls in the process

thanks for your input

I would bet and call a raise. Too scared to reraise, although I think that might be good.

bet, hope to get overcalls. if raised id call.

I'd bet out, hope the people between me and the button call. If button raises, I 3-bet. If it gets capped... well, we'll see. The only hands that beat you here are QT and T7. T7 is quite a stretch, and QT... well, if he has it, good for him.
