SB is really bad, likes to call a lot. He disconnected on the flop and his check was due to timing out but I guess he was [censored] around or something cos he never sat out.

Call the river as played This could be 2 pair or a bare ace, I might check behind on the river but it's fine IMO.

I think you have ~500 left if he has the flush, and that's enough to continue to fight with.

call the river I like how you played it. checking behind this river is really bad people will pay off worse a lot.

God damn. He has it, but you have to pay him off.

Don't check the river please. The rest is good.

I think you played the hand perfect. With your read I wouldn't fold to the river raise. There's still a chance that villain has top pair or 2 pair.
