I would say you have to fold. By checking on the river you gained no more information. MP could have had a middle flush or AK. If he had middle flush he may think you were slowplaying the turn and checked but when you checked again he knew his flush was good. If he had AK he had to respect the flush but again the second check made him think his top pair was good. If you had probed on either the turn or the river you could have gotten some more info on if your set was good. I wouldn't be too worried about A's because he only called with the flush draw showing instaed of reraising to chase away any draw.

Or you could push in and see how sure of his middle flush or AK he was.

I make a PSB on flop. As played I probably make a blocking bet on river, then if there's a large raise you can just throw it away.

Villain is calling every single time a push on this hand with any flush, low/middle/high. I see no value in pushing. Without a read, I think this is a clear fold because this is a standard line for donkeys to play a flush.

its a tough fold but you shouldnt have given up control of the hand like that, check raise the flop bet the turn and you would have at least been sure where you stood on the river.

wtf? folding here is horrible. you showed extreme weakness on turn and river - the only option is to call here.

Barf on the turn and river checks. You need to bet both streets every time. Villian is not that likely to have a flush.

as played call river. two pair just got there.

villain only has 39 left on turn. bet 20, call raise.
