I called the turn figuring I was getting enough odds to call (flush, possibly another A or an 8), given my outs. When the river comes, I really unsure of what to do. How often am I good here?

I think my read here is that villain flopped a set. Without the flush draw I'm thinking seriously about folding to the turn raise (Baluga?).

I think I'm folding to this large bet on the river; villain just rivered a full house?

Tough spot. Not being results oriented I would check behind this turn lots of times. If villain hits a smaller flush on the river you could get his stack. With most one pair hands we don't want to play a big pot against most villains. You have opened yourself up to playing a big pot by betting the turn.

You have represented strength throughout the hand and villain still isn't impressed. I would probably fold river as played. If you check behind on turn the river play is easier although we might get outdrawn more often.

Yeah I like checking the turn as being c/r really sucks here.
As played I think I fold to the river bet. It looks like you have an Ace and the 2nd ace didn't scare him.

as said before, i think you should check the turn to control pot size, he doesnt call the flop with anything that you beat, and not much your going to fold. Checking behind gives you a free card to draw to the nuts/controls pot size.

I think that given his turn actions, and most uNL playes play big hands like this, your probably looking at sixes full.
I think its a hard fold.
