Sorry for trying to advocate not overextending works (it works all the time for me, but I didn't really think about the losing gold flaw, probably because I'm playing Rumble and not classic melee top laners). As for specific counter playing options I didn't mention in my first post, the biggest is waiting on her cooldowns, and trading with her when any of them are down. She will lose damage without q, duelling power without w, and survivability without e. This is assuming early game, where she has little cdr. Another strategy is making sure you have more minions in the wave. Most riven players tend to be cocky, so most of the time they will engage you. Also have your jungler camp her early on if you can manage to bait her cooldowns (again, most Riven players will try to fight you early).
