Yes, thinking about the river was part of the reason I made the fold here. If I call turn and he jams river, it's basically a half-pot sized bet for me to call and there are only a couple cards (2 tens, 2 sixes) I am going to feel happy about calling on.
I played with this player for about six hours and this hand was maybe 45 minutes in to my session. I think if this had been 2+ hours in I would have been a lot more likely to call, after seeing him splash around a bit more and over-value top pair in some other spots.
Appreciate the continued feedback from folks in this thread. I returned to Mohegan Sun $1/$2 last night and got absolutely smoked for my biggest loss playing live yet, so it feels good to be getting feedback from more experienced players and thinking about ways to continue to improve my live game.
