PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

I just sat down at this table and have not played vs. villain so no reads on villain

MP1 ($31.40)
Hero ($24.55)
CO ($17.20)
Button ($24.65)
SB ($46.20)
BB ($6.40)
UTG ($30.25)
UTG+1 ($24.65)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with T, T.
[color=#666666]3 folds</font>, [color=#CC3333]Hero raises to $1</font>, [color=#666666]2 folds</font>, SB calls $0.90, [color=#666666]1 fold</font>.

Flop: ($2.25) 5, 8, 4 [color=#0000FF](2 players)</font>
SB checks, [color=#CC3333]Hero bets $1.5</font>, SB calls $1.50.

Turn: ($5.25) A [color=#0000FF](2 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks.

Scare card. I think the odds of a flush draw are reduced though because ace high flush draws are a little more common.

River: ($5.25) 7 [color=#0000FF](2 players)</font> Another scare card.
[color=#CC3333]SB bets $3.5</font>, Hero folds.
Final Pot: $5.25

In the end I put villain on a suckout
. I think the odds of a suckout combined with the odds of villain playing a better hand passively could make the river -ev for me to call? Thoughts?

I'm thinking I should have bet the turn for information and aggression and folded to a raise/checked it out from there.

I wonder how pushing on the river would have worked out

Don't wonder this. You played it fine. The turn check and river fold is totally standard against a non-maniac opponent. If he is floating every hand with air to bluff later you'll get him soon enough.

If I don't have a read that he calls to draw to a flush and then checks made flush on the turn often I likely fire again.
You hold one of the flush cards and the A is out there (as you said that makes it somewhat less likely that he has a flush). The third flush card could scare him more than you, the A could also scare him.

Nice analysis. I think the fold equity of betting the checked turn is worth it against an unknown in this case.

What if I bet the turn $3.75 and was called. Then villain bet river for say 1/6 pot ($2.00 into a $12.00 pot) and i was looking at 7 to 1, would this be a call?
