Do I call this river?

Though it's been said many times, many ways, I have no reads.

Too dangerous a flop. He may have called your raise with anything from TT-66 and possibly ATs-A8s. I would say that you should've folded to the raise on the turn.

No way hero can fold the turn w/nutflushdraw+gushot+overs. That being said, I cannot see any single reason to call the river unless you like paying to get a read on a player.

You did call the river. I wouldn't have, but I'm not you. I probably don't bet that flop, either.

Edited for additional snarkiness.

[censored] no. Pot is laying 7:1 and hero has a nut flush draw. Call the raise.

EDIT: I missed the gutshot and overcard outs too. Folding the turn is out of the question.

I can't see folding this turn. There's 7.75 BB in the pot at this point. I play this hand the same way up til the river, where I check fold. I just don't think you're good here often enough given no reads.

I'd drop it to the river bet. You can only beat a bluff at this point.

Did he have 8's?

Well, let's put it this way. I didn't coun't the overcards because of the straight possibility. You're right, to draw to the flush the outs are 9, and possibly the 8's, which according to the betting, I would only give a value of 2 to. that'll be 11 outs, or about 4.1 to 1. The pot on the turn was 4.75BB but, the Hero would've had to call the raise, in other words, 2BB to win 6.75BB. That's only 3.38 to 1. Obviously, the raiser was protecting his hand. If you stretched these bets into implied odds, it MAY have been a good call to the raise, but I don't believe the pot equity would've bakced this up.
