I'm happy with everything, cept there is an option to check the river instead....?

[Miffed22001]

you dont put him on a flush draw>?

I think I check/call the river here. I wanna showdown for cheap, but don't want to lose value. I'd call a push from opp here.

judging from this and other hh's you seem to enjoy getting your whole stack in too often. the less you are all in the better. don't force things. count to like 10 before clicking your mouse and think about what you are going to do and why. villain is a loose maniac calling station. when you go all in on the river like that you make it too easy for him to take your stack when he's ahead of you. there's a bunch of hands he could have that beat you so check and re-evaluate after his bet, if he even bets.
