How do you like the line, what to do on the river?
Maybe some will disagree I don't claim to be the poker expert, but here is my view of this hand. I don't like it preflop, minraise means nothing really, and I will always call a minraise in these games if I am already in the pot PF. Flop. Bet is so so, but why not full pot amount? This is drawy board, so you definitely want to price those draws. Once he comes back at you, I really hate flat calling here. Why not come over the top, and he might even call you when he is way behind, or with the draw. It seems you are playing it safe here, despite the fact you have flopped the monster. If so, turn is fine... If you will not raise on the flop, then no point in raising the turn. River, well, you cannot bet for value any more, that is for sure. So, just check it down and see if you win. You slowplayed it and put yourself in this position, so I guess you now must slowplay the river as well and check behind. Not trying to make you feel bad or anything, but please, do check the river
