PeterL asks,
the following hand, I think I played the river badly and missed some bets. I know if I went to 2+2 they would say I played it well.
But I believe SSHE would reccomend betting for value here.

PS not sure if hand convert format what you would prefer, could you post a link to whatever hand convertor you prefer we use?
I like the FlopTurnRiver hand converter. If you select one of the forum software’s formats, it will insert those color and bold tags like you had, but my blog software doesn’t interpret them. You can set it to output HTML, and you should be fine. Or if you really want to be safe, you can just do plain text.
On to the hand. Rather than answer your river question directly, I’ll walk through the hand and give you my thoughts. I have a few issues with how you played the hand.

Are you basing your turn 3-bet the assumption that this guy is a loose-aggressive.
If you don’t have a read on him do you still 3-bet this turn?
