Jay-Dub
EDIT: Sorry, am trying to learn converter but am having difficulties.
Very passive table, most pots can be taken down pre-flop or on the flop. My opponent was new to the table (still in his first orbit). Also any critique on the play in general is appreciated as always.

In a word... yes....

It is SOOOOO unlikely the river helped him and if he had you beat, he woulda raised long before now...

I can sort of understand your check because you figure maybe you will only get called by a hand that beats you but, nah... I would value bet that to the tune of... ten / 15 dollars. Ok, you wont get called by a busted draw but maybe a hand like JC AS of top pair, shitty kicker with a desperately low flush draw.

No you didn't miss on value. You played it well. If you had the flush/broadway, how would you act? Probably call everything bet and jam on the river (with the flush, continue calling with broadway).

At the end you only have two pair and your opponent is not likely calling with anything with a weaker hand.

Good river check.
Betting marginal hands which can't stand to be reraised is pretty silly when you can just check.
If you knew that your opponent would never bluff, then betting would be OK. But in this case betting and folding a big pot would be a disaster, as would betting and calling a raise fro ma flush or whatever.

You played the hand well

As for ur hand converter use
http://www.neildewhurst.com/hand-converter

Get ur hand histories by clicking the stats tab in the lobby and go to the show session browser stats and all ur hands will be here in a format that can be converted. The HH u get by clicking tab in upper corner do not convert right.

Yeah, because A10, 910 and trip Q's and J's

aren't possibilities here at all...

There is a royal flush draw on the board, my opponent has called a flop raise and turn bet OOP.

I'm so happy to check this river and actually take the hand down that I choose not to write something demeaning on Pimp's blog comments.
