    If you're not going to post reads then there's little reason to attempt to find the right answer to the hand.

    I am assuming you didnt plan this river - hence why you posted and checked the river.

    You needed a plan

    Why are you x4'ing AK on the CO shotty? For me it just makes stealing with junk either more expensive or less effective. Standard open size, if you've been going x3 with the rest of your range then this size is bang on. Don't fluctuate your raise size based on hand, it gives away information and allows observant villains to adjust effectively. Alter your raise size based on limpers, stacks, position and villain call tendancy.

    And yeah, @OP, villain reads needed if you want good advice. If you don't have any reads, say so.

    Readless I fold this without too much sweat.

    river b/f might be better. There's value vs 2pr hands that check behind. I like shotty's sizing for river b/f.

    behind you with an axe
    2 pair isn't calling with 4 to a straight and a flush draw completing. B/f is ok as a bluff, but check call is better for value and c/f is fine.

    soaking up ethanol, moving on up
    pre, flop, and turn look ok
    river you can check-fold or block-fold similar size to turn.

    It might to a small bet, this is why I like shotty's sizing. Depends how competent villain is really... if he's gonna sniff out a 85c bet as a thin vbet, well he can cib as a really cheap and effective bluff, so value is even thinner on the river. But assuming we're readless, I prefer to just c/f personally.

    I like a block bet on the river.

    I think the key problem in this hand is that you turn your hand face up with your bet sizing difference on the flop and turn and then the check on the river - the river is just asking to be bluffed once you check and you'll probably end up folding the best hand.
