Ok, with this one I'd like to get some opinions about both playing the turn here and also what kind of bet to put out on the river.

I would throw out a $50-60 bet and hope he re-raises which is likely if he has the flush.

I'm not folding the turn here, but if I don't fill up I'm folding to significant river heat.

As it turned out.....CRAI on river is sooooooo hot if you're pretty sure hes betting, otherwise bet $40 and hope he raises

I like the pot sized bet here on the flop. The raise doesnt automaticaly indicate that you are beaten. You could be up agianst a 9 with a high card, or even a pair with a high flush draw. The check/call on the turn was okay too since a non scare card appeared, if you were losing then you were already beat. On the river I think you have to bet out for about 1/2 the pot. The chances are you have the best hand, a 96 is a longshot. And a check is to likely not to induce a bet from your opponent.

Reads please.

I'm usually not folding the turn here. There are a lot of hands villain could have. Reads or stats would make this easier.

I bet $50 on river.

vs a solid player..I don't like our situation....if we dont fill up we are playing a huge pot and lots of cards can fill up villain...is folding here that bad?

I'd probably fold turn; If you are behind you have very few outs against villain, and if villain is behind he has tons of outs against you.

On the river you boated up, great. If villain flopped a set, you are almost certainly stacking him here, but if villain flopped a flush, you will probably find it hard to get paid. I think going for a c/r is pretty bad, as villain could easily have the sense to check behind a flush. And if villain has a boat, he is raising when you lead out, so no worries about losing value in that scenario.

Lead river for ~half pot.

Wrong.

OP: You should really be reloading preflop.
