A call here pretty well confirms a draw. I might be setting myself up to get blown off hands though. Thoughts?
I bet more than you did. I really like my hand.
A call doesn't confirm a draw. It usually just means he has an ace.
Reads help here. Its very difficult to lay your hand down on the river. If you suspect you are beat when he calls the turn (e.g. villain is nitty), then a river blocking bet is in order. Against a loose passive, a committing river value bet is in order. Against a loose aggressive or a wannabe tag, you can check and call a bluff.
