    I think that is fine. If anything I'd bet the river, but the board completes a lot of his hands, so I think checking is fine.

    against an avg player at 25nl I think I would check the flop and vbet the turn and river.

    Checking is o.k. without reads.

    If villain is at all cally I'd fire 1/2 pot on river even though it s kind of thin.
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    bet river all the time, you beat all aces except AQ AK AT.

    I was thinking this yesterday while I was out. There is a good chance he he holds a smaller A than me a lot of the time here.

    The stack size is actually something I completely missed. I should have just stuck it all in on the river. Missed value there then?
