King High Flush on River--Easy Fold?
 

This is my first post so forgive me if it is a little choppy. I have been lurking on the site for a while and I think the advice is hugely helpful. I think I played this hand poorly from the flop on and would like any comments. The hand is from Full Tilt so the converter did not work.

Table is 1/2NL. I had been playing a while at the table, but the villian sat down a few hands before and I have no reads and had not played a hand since villian sat down.

Stack Size:

Seat 1: Hero ($195.80)
Seat 2: stokedhawk ($124.30)
Seat 3: Taildragger ($198)
Seat 4: Villian ($307.65)
Seat 5: boblee52 ($185.60)
Seat 6: mainer12 ($466.50)
Seat 7: sakurabavn ($180.50), is sitting out
Seat 8: CoachWEEZ ($213.70)
Seat 9: NocketPines ($163.25)

I am in SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Villian limps in UTG+1, UTG +2 limps, folds to me, I call, BB checks.

Flop is 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I lead with pot size bet ($8) BB folds, Villian raises to $16, UTG+2 Folds, I call. Pot size $32.

Turn 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I check, Villian checks

River J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I bet $10, Villian pushes me all in

Now what?

My thought at the time is that he limped with A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] x [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], has the 10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]; or got the full house when the board paired on the river. My guess is that he thinks I hit the flush on the river and have a big [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

I think I made a mistake not betting the turn when I hit the straight and possible should have checked on the river to induce a value bet that I could call. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

bet the turn, fold to a raise

fold the river

The easiest river fold you will ever make.

I would bet the turn fo sho, 1/2-3/4 pot, whatever. Don't be scared of the flush. Probably the cheapest way to get away from villain's flush is to bet into it, anyway.

This can't be right:

Pot must be $40? So you're betting 1/4 pot on the river? What does this bet accomplish?

And villain is pushing for 3x pot? fold ofdl ofdl ofold ofld

instafold river.

on turn, if he's aggressive and will bet non flush (but may not call if he views you as tight, c/c may be way to go.

If he's more passive, ie typcial fulltilt full 1/2 player, bet 1/2 on turn.

I agree with above about betting the turn.

I've made that river call before, and I'll never make it again.

I agree with everyone, bet the turn (about 2/3 to 3/4 pot). If I did decide to check the turn as you did, and thought there was a chance my hand was good. I would check the river, and maybe call a reasonable river bet. No way I call a push though. A weak bet was the worse thing you fould have done. I bet the villain had the 10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], hoping you would call with the Ace. Of course the way you played makes it possible that he puts you on a marignal hand and is trying take you off of it. Regardless though you have to lay down.
