A few hands prior to this I had taken a chunky pot from BTN so I was prepared to call the small raise from him on the river in case he was just having a go. However when the calling station comes along we can never be good right?

Also, do you ever bet flop or turn here? And do you bet river for value as I did?

Draw heavy board, I probably just cbet flop but I don't mind checking. I am almost always betting this turn and I really see no need to bet river.

Bet the flop, bet the turn... I think normally you could fold the river, but maybe against this opponent I'd call at your stakes. He seems to be likely a bad lag... no hands really makes sense for him unless he has 44 or decided not to be the turn w/ 67.
