I did bet for value on the river, but I was wondering if there's a better way to play it to get the most value. If I check on the river, I'm fairly certain hellroy, who has been leading the betting is going to go all-in for his final $6.40, so when the next player calls, I could then either raise or go all-in, the thinking being it's less for him to call this than if I push straight away, and I'd get more than the $10 value bet I actually made. I'm thinking he doesn't have a particularly strong hand because he has just been callng the bets so far, rather than raising.

It's easy to see that I was beaten on the flop and turn / he had a flush draw etc once we've seen the showdown, but that's being results-oriented.  As it happened I hit an out to the nuts on the river, but I could only suspect and not be sure I was beaten on the earlier streets. So we need to consider the best moves given the information available at the time.

I think if I were a bit more disciplined I'd have laid it down on the flop after a bettor and a caller. I could have raised - to how much? Would this have got the best value if I did have the best hand? What do I do on the turn if I'm just called? Or could I have saved a few $ by just calling like I did, and check-folding the turn?
