Don't put 2 bets in on this river.

Bet, bet, check/call. No better hands are folding for one bet, and worse hands are taking stabs all day if you check to them.

I suppose your river bet gives Button one last opportunity to lay down a better pocket pair or Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] or whatnot, if you think he might do that. And it also invites a bluff-raise from KJo, JTo, and KTo.

The river is uncomfortable, and I wouldn't bet-call with my pocket fives on this board against very many players. Possibly it's okay against this guy, but I think I prefer a check-call.

Tx guys i was 90% sure that i missplayed the river.
I see that check call is the best solution.

check/call is better judgement call but you shouldn't call river raise. You will see better hand more often than 90% I think...
