Bad fold on the river?

[imzadim]

Hey there, this is the first hand I post, so here it goes!
I think I made many errors on this one.
Should I raise preflop here?
Should I fold the flop?
But the worst mistake might have been folding the river, although I'm not still sure (weak flush and full house possibility...)

Opinions?

I'm figuring CO for A6, and your flush to be good. The paired board makes me a little nervous, but all you're really afraid of is K6, or J6, and J6 I think he'd fold to the all in bet, or fold preflop. If he turns up with one of those, or a pair of clubs that beats your 10 high flush that's just crappy luck, but I don't see how I can fold here.

NO folding here you ve made your hand and unless he was slowplaying KK or JJ your goot, i doubt villain ever has K6 or J6 here but shoot maybe at micro micro they call with everything so its moot, but you HAVE to call here

[kabouter]

I think you should:
preflop: raise
Flop: fold or raise
Turn: fold/call not sure
River: call

[mmctrab]

Actually, forget A6. It's too early in the morning for me. Everything else I think makes sense.

[troyBoy]

we want to try to get all our money in on the flop yeh? so raise that [censored] up?

[Panthro]

In a low level "loose" game where everyone calls PF (raised or unraised) with any two cards, I don't mind just limping on the button with small pairs and sooted connectors.

Other than that, I'd definately call the river bet. The villain doesn't HAVE to have a full house. He could have a straight, two pair, TPTK, etc; You chased your club and got it, so pay him off if he has you beat.

Thanks for the comments, now I'm convinced that was a terrible fold!

I think my real fear on the river was that the huge raise could represent a higher flush, but I should've paid him off anyway since that it what I was chasing.

Push the flop. $4 already in there, $10 behind for you, you have at least 9 outs, sometimes up to 14.

River's a very bad fold. Why were you calling flop and turn again?

It wasn't a huge raise. It was a medium-sized value bet.

I thought the bet was low enough for me to call. Almost 3-1 plus maybe one more call on the river. But yes, the more I think about it the more I hate how I played that hand. I gues I'm not sure how to play flushes...
