WCOOP ME - Boat's sailing on flush river. check or bet???

[PrayingMantis]

Not betting more on the turn is a big mistake IMHO. Whether he is drawing for the flush (maybe he hit an ace now too) or calling a weaker 8, if he's going to stay he will definitely be willing to pay more, the way it is played. The smaller bet you made does v little to his range (perhaps an exception will be that you won't fold T9 that is not Th9h. not even sure about that), only keeps the pot smaller than it could be.
