.. standard isnt it? You potted flop (good) flush hit turn (you bet 2/3 of pot) and you got screwed on river. UTG bets overpot which means he wants you to pay him with the K /images/graemlins/spade.gif

Villain calls with a lot of hands other than the FD on the flop so I'm still happy on the Turn - I just bet a little more to charge AsTx or something like that. Probably $5.00. If he's got KQ, or KJ, etc., he's still calling.

River is fine.

Good point on the turn, I was trying to bet an amount that I could get away from, too. However, I guess $5 is good.

what about a blocking bet on the river? A check might induce a bluff too often, or do you think he'd be too scared of your flush to bet?
