Still working on the stud reads (right now my reads are push huge hands if I get the chance).

Should I be betting this river? I have hand this happen 3 or 4 times when I felt like I was ahead but the oddity of the other guys board makes me think he is only going to call with hands that beat me, then it gets checked down and I feel like I am losing a bet on the end.

Thoughts?

I'd bet.

Yeah you need to bet that river and you need to be raising on 3rd. Why wiat around on 3rd and encourage even more folks to limp in behind you. Sure alot of times that extra 0.50 bet won't do much to knock out folks on third but I will be damn if I am going to let them in for just the bring in when I have a big pair. The key to beating stud is being aggressive when you are involved in a hand in most instances, don't play around on 3rd street with your big pairs.
