I still have trouble making bets on the river for value when scare cards come. The two players in this hand were loose calling stations and I saw them suck out runner runner more than once this session. I only had $1.78 after turn bet so I thought about betting $1 on river, but decided against it (NIT moment I guess). Is river check acceptable or is it NIT play? I've written about this b4 on this thread and I don't think I've made any improvements. Hindsight is always 20/20, but how would you guys play this?
