Thanks Malachi. Thought he was trying to steal it. But my gut said he had a FH.

You are either chopping (25% of time) or losing (75% of time). Fold.

Why are you playing $400NL?

I'm not being a snot, I'm asking a serious question. You say you're a newbie in training, and even I know to fold the river.

did he post UTG? good players don't do that

Raise more preflop, bet a little more on the flop.

Turncheck good, river easy fold.

Your flop bet looks weak. You gotta bet AT LEAST half the pot.
