Basically the stupidest river card in the history of poker.

The thoughts:

He's a good thinking player. My hand is pretty transparent (5s or 9s). He probably knows thats just about what I have.

That river card put about 1/4th or so of his range in to the winners circle. It gave the other 3/4ths of it a GREAT spot to bluff.

Further thoughts:

I am nearly certain my hand was good on the turn.
