What are you going to do when he raises? If the river didn't complete the flush, I bet every time, but with an obvious draw coming in you're going to get bluffed regardless, and I'd rather not pay 2BB to try and win 5 in this situation.

crying call. You might be supposted to fold this but i think you are g00t enough here to call it down.

I like check/call here better as you don't have to put in two river bets in this small pot to show it down.

Checks. The pot is way too small to risk a bet without any reads.

Yeah, good point. I actually don't even mind calling this river raise, since IMO he raises with a lot of hands we beat.

I think checking and calling was much better on the river. Mostly due to pot size, and I'm usually beat when raised, and maybe more than a third of the time when I'm called. Checking and calling at least has the chance to pick off a bluff.

I'll have better hands to post during the session review. This one wasn't a great hand to post, but I felt that every decision was a close one, EV-wise.
