Good river decisions

It's important to make good decisions on every street, but it's especially important to make them on the river. That's the point in the hand when you have the most information. Last night, I was making good river decisions. Two stand out. On one hand, my opponent was content to check to me and then to call my bets on earlier streets, so I decided it would be prudent to check behind him on the river. He turned over a full house, and though I lost the hand, I suffered minimal damage to my stack. On another, although the board supported a flush, I didn't believe my opponent had one, so I min bet the river. My opponent called and lost, so it's likely I maximized the profit on that hand.
