Pot 14.75 big bets
River 4c

2 checks, Hero bets, CO raises, 2 folds, Hero calls.

Final pot 18.75 big bets

Again, I guess my play is okay till the river. I raise on the river for value - does this make sense given pre flop action and subsequent streets?

I can't put anyone on a club flush draw. Really hard to know what villians hold except for lower pps hoping they're somehow good at showdown, maybe JJ. AJ possible looking at gutshot to nut straight which isn't unusual. Should I play scared here that the CO has me beat with AA, KK, AQ, or QQs and has just slowplayed the whole hand post flop to the river? And if so, would that be optimal play in this situation given my continued inflating of the pot with only TPTK and a couple of callers?

Thanks again for any assistance.

I like your play and I think you need to bet the river in the long run, these players can see a showdown with a VERY wide range ie. any K/pair/ sometimes A high. In these situations I like to bet/call 1 raise on the river. If you bet, someone raises, another 3-bets so you're confronting 2 bets to call or more then you can safely fold as you'll never be ahead.

Against 1 guy here you have to be ahead at least 1/19 times to make the call on the river profitable, therefore call ;)

Thanks again fella, the feedback is really appreciated.

Turned out villian had KK which is a pretty tough hand to put them on when the flop shows the case K. In retrospect, villians cap pre-flop if playing optimally should have suggested AA, KK, QQ or AK, but again playing these levels its hard to work out if players are operating optimally. And I suppose each of these hands (outside of the AA) is pretty hard to put villian on given the flop and my hand.
