I had just been moved to this table. Comments on all streets would be appreciated. I couldn't decide whether to reraise the min raise preflop, ended up just calling. After he checked the flop and min raised the turn I was positive he was pretty strong (7-7, 4-4, or A-7, maybe A-A, K-K or A-K) so I had no fold equity for a push, however I was getting a little better than 4-1 so I called trying to hit the flush. Seeing as how he was committed I reasoned I could save some chips if the flush missed. The river messed that plan up. How should I have played this river? Overall, with my comfortable chip position, is it even worth it to get involved in hands like this when I have no feel for the table yet?
