Scary river OOP, nearly committed, totally lost

[LVcardjunkie]

Man, i'm just totally lost on this river. Betting commits me to the pot, checking lets me get bluffed out. what the hell do i do now? Was I beat before the river anyway? I don't think i've ever been this lost with an overpair. And on top of it, this is only my 2nd hand at the table, so I'm readless....

is this an easy push on river?

[aces_dad]

It's not easy which is why no one has advocated it yet. Villians action looks like a draw, the river completed the flush and I belive some gutshots just got there.

To me this feels like a flush draw, so I'd probably try to go with a $8 blocking bet and fold to a raise. Based on preflop action it's hard to put UTG on a 6.

I think the push only gets called by better hands, so no pushing here for me.

Yeah, that's what i did, blocked for 11 and folded to his push. However, upon reviewing my hand, i hated my blocking bet because it looked weak, especially after betting 16 on the turn, and i end up folding with 4/5's of my stack in the pot. Does anyone c/c here?
