    Personally I would have just flat called the turn to keep the pot small since you close the action. On the river, I'm torn between check/calling and value betting. Given that there are two opps in the hand I think I just check/call. May be weak/tight but I think that there are a bunch of hands that beat you that will call (rather than shove over) your river bet.

    Ah yes true. I still think I check behind here. 3x, sets and two pair won't necessarily bet this river but will call your bet.

    I check behind. It's still early in the game, no need to wager more chips with a very strong hand.

    I bet the flop here, theres no way that flop hit anyone. The only thing to worry about is if someone has an overpair to the board.

    As played I check the river, its a relatively scary board and theres been a lot of action. You only have a pair and could easily be beat, opponents played this pretty weird. I dont see a lot of value in betting here

    I would c-bet the flop.
    I like the raise on the turn.
    Check behind on river.
