First off, on this board why would you try a ck raise on the turn? If you had just bet out say the pot, and then if someone called you or both, then you would have some idea where you were at when the 5 came.

On the river the pot is 1700 before you bet and you have 2200, why do you bet 1000 there? if he will call that he will call 2200 more than likely, and if not, who cares you took down a 1700 chip pot.

The problem with betting 1000 is you leave yourself open to someone maybe making a bluff at you and scaring you off your hand.

I think you needed to evaluate what your opponent was calling with on PF the flop, and on the turn. Either you have to push or you have to check the river and see what he does.

I don't think that betting 1000 into a 1700 pot on the river 5 makes any sense. If you had ckd it, and he comes over the top all in, it is a tough decision, but you can lay it down and move on if you think he has the boat. Yeah, it sucks, but it is early and who cares. you have a stack. You have a hand that you want to showdown.

I totally disagree that you have to call on the river if you know you are beat. I don't care what the pot odds are, if you know you are beat and you have chips, 1200 at the 20/40 level, which is plenty, then you can fold this, but if you don't think he has the flush, then yes, you have to call.

I would think that this guy has the full house and wants you to call after the comment I would be more inclined to fold and move one.
