That river check is terrible. Shove all day. Also I'd make your turn raise to $3 instead of $4 so that you don't push him out, because you'll be able to get the rest in on the river anyway even with a slightly smaller raise.

Thank you, NeverScurred. Another question to all, how do you play this hand with a lower SC like 5c6c?

The same. Apart from fact that 6c is on the board (although this is not the point) you've made a small flush in both cases. You called to make the flush so now bet it for value. You really only pause with the small flush when a club hits the river especially a non ace club.

You're leaving money on the table. Shove your stack in on the river. If he decided to let you take the lead and betting with a higher flush on the turn, so be it. Just reload.

A flush is always AI on the river in a situation like this, checking behind here is really terrible and you lost alot of value. Doesnt matter how low your flush is here play it the same, a flush on a three flush unpaired board should be played like the nutz 99,99% of the times, not trying too get it in would be criminal.

Thanks guys, I have lost a lot of money lately in hands like this, so I appreciate the reality check.

I usually play the same preflop. But would a raise be a good (best) option in this position ?
