    Maybe a river laydown? At that point lots of hands beat you, but the pot odds on your call (nearly 4:1) aren't terrible. Tough hand.

    Yeah, a lay down on the river would have been good, but like Fnord said, you still had decent pot odds. I hate hitting top pair or 2 pair with the board showing big possibilities for a straight or flush.
