I cant tell what his river bet means...if i push he might fold a weaker flush or his weak bet might mean that he is scared of the flush..thoughts

my read is that its a sick value bet of a low flush, but given pot size, I think a call is ok - imo a push doesnt get him to fold his weak flush

I would call en press reload at the same time (expecting to loose). Don't think you can fold here, but there's not a big chance your set is good.

I would just call the river and expect to lose.

I would call here, because I would be interested with what kind of holding he called out of the big blind and whether he called Your flop bet against the odds with a flush draw. I think $3 is a cheap prize to gain that information.

But I would have checked the turn here. Why? The Js is an exceptionable bad card for You, because the flush draw hit, a suited connector like T-9 and a holding like K-T improved to a straight. I think it's a mistake to pump up the pot in this situation. Simply check and hope that the board pairs on the river. You instead pump up the pot knowing that You will be faced with a tough decision on the river if the board doesn't pair. I really would prefer to play a cheap pot here and if the board pairs, there's a good chance that You can win a huge pot if he made a strong hand.

you're getting like 9-1 just call and take a note

If the last potential <font color="red">Hero</font> action implies what it does, you pretty much did what I might be doing in that situation. It just depends on villian and whats been happening, how aggressive he is, can he fold anything of consequence on that river, etc.
