betting the turn &gt;&gt;&gt; checking. As played you've gotta just fold.

sometimes you gotta fold the best hand. thats position.

fwiw i think it takes less balls to pot when checked to than it does to raise allin when blocked at. so if you are worried about folding here, then you should have bet. this does not mean that betting is the best choice, it just means betting makes your decision easy.

It sucks, but I think you have to fold.

i would call and reevaluate on the river. We can't always fold here. Can we?

This is such a bad card, i think this is a clear check/fold and this is why - villian knows that sb cold called behind him after your cbet on flop and a lot of times this is gonna be a draw, for him to fire after being checked too means (to me)
a) he has a flush - ie: isnt afraid of sb
b) he is way too aggro for his own good (why the flop call then?)

i would believe him this time - wait till we get a read before getting into tough spots like this i reckon.

i think this is a good analysis. I called, and called his shove on a blank river, he showed me 78ss
