Firstly, should I be isolating preflop? My thinking was that higher PPs are well within villains limping range, but should I be using position to my advantage and cbetting almost any board?
Second, do I bet the river for value or was my check good here? If he's made the straight he has me beat, and if he hasn't he wont pay me anyway, but is he likely to pay me off with anything else? (Jx maybe)
