did I miss something or did the button player disappear?Anyway, it looks to me like you missed a bet on the river. You call the UTG+1 a fish so he probably wouldn't know a c/r if it slapped him, so I see his check as weak. If he had the 7 I see him as betting it.

I didn't bet on the end as it was a side pot issue. The button was allin and with there being a side pot on just the river I felt that check check might be the right move. I'm not sure if that changes anyting though, what do you all think?

Nah. You're still betting for value.

The river bet depends on how much the guy calls the river when he's beat. Even if you're ahead, there's still the possibility that you'll only get called when you're beat. So the bet's ok only if half the time the fish calls, he's got a pair of tens or worse. Most fish will do that, so you bet, but it would depend on whether you had any information about how he plays the river. The side pot doesn't really matter.

Dom't bet this river.The 5s completes just about every draw he could possibly be loking it. 56s beats you, two spades beat you, a 7 beats you, 9T beats you, etc.Unless he has ATo where's the value here?
