No reads, this guy just sat in a few hands ago. Would you have played this hand any differently?

I'd check behind on the turn. Good way to save you some $ if he has a J and to induce bluffs on the river if he doesn't have one.

man I miss the ongame, stupid politics. anyway looks ok but I prob check the turn as well planning to get some value on the river. if I had a calling station read then I bet all three streets.
um actually I might bet something like 1/4 or 1/3 pot on the river but checking is ok too.

[zenbitz]

I think this might be a good place to value bet river after the 3rd check, balances only betting river on bluff/monster. Just seems like he has a 9 or worse pair (or busted draw) Trips or overpair would find a raise or bet in there somewhere...

check turn, check/call river is good too, against a bluffer.

I think you played it fine, you can do a few differnt things as people have mentioned but I don't see any of them as being a major improvement.

you missed a bet on the river, just make sure you fold if he raises it
