Obviously I can see here, the check behind saved me money, but long term is this the correct play? I just didn't feel I could get any more value out of worse hands by the river.

    betting is too small.

    you're missing huge value by checking behind river

    i have to see i agree with above ive seen a few of your hands and you bet line is always same which is good but bring it up a notch instead of half pot bet 2/3s of the pot mate and yea this is a 100 percent check on river only getting called with better altho no matter what you bet i think you were going to be getting called just note the player and punish him next time round

    massivly depends on villain and how strong there show down ranges have been previously, i would bet most of the time on river against U/K and expect a call by some 7's 8-jjs, and some Axdd hands.. obv take a note and adjust wen seen cards ..

    I've said before that I think betting half-pot on the flop is fine. I do think you need to bet more on the turn, though. You have a strong hand and your opponent has shown interest on the flop. Charge them more here to make it easier to stack them on the river.

    When the river hits the Ace, you shouldn't be too afraid. I'd have built a bigger pot by now so would just be moving all-in. I doubt you would be called by worse for that much now, so I guess a smaller value-bet of half-pot or maybe less would be fine.

    Folding for the rest would be difficult. I think I would end up calling then rebuking myself for it.
