Given what he probably has to be calling you down, I check behind on this river 100% of the time.

Preflop is perfect.

Flop is nice.

On the turn, I'm checking behind unless i spike a....oh, hello Jack.
I would have bet t500 on the turn. If he has a K, you'll get paid off. If he has a middle pair (most likely) he would fold to any action anyway. May as well get the most money in there when he has the King.

That was a very bad river bet. I'm checking behind there every single time. He's not folding the case jack, and you only will get called when you are beat, and you have to pay off the all in. Bad, bad, bad.

You HAVE to check behind on that river. I don't mind that turn bet as much as Soss does, I don't want to price out a dead flush draw. Its so important, its worth saying again. Check that river.

That is all
