I hit low straight on river, but backdoor flush hits also. Villain checks for the 3rd time. I bet and he raises. Now I'm like 90% sure this is some type of bluff. I don't think a king raises for value on the river here. I also rule out KK/JJ/1010 because no 3bet preflop.

Hows my line? Is this always a call a here? .. since we beat villain's range most of the time. I really think this is a bluff or a weird value raise with K10/KJ.

I have a lot of problems with these situations as well. I think I call here...
the pot odds are ~1:3 and I definetly think that you are beating a wide range here

I wouldn't worry too much about backdoor flush here personally, but someone can correct me.

Unless SB was setting some really rediculous and elaborate trap (turn check followed by a river check? I don't think so) I think more than anything he may say your bet as a bluff and decide to take it away from you with a weak K.

Thoughts?

Its a must call, I wouldnt shove though if thats what you were thinking.
