River Question

[fyodor]

I can't fold this river. The flush card is a perfect bluff card for him. I think raising is a bad idea though. If he really is bluffing it accomplishes nothing. If he really has a better hand it only costs me.

So I think I can only call here. If anyone disagrees please tell me why.

that's an auto call. Too many party fools like to bluff that. But get ready to hear everyone tell you , you should of raised pre-flop.

raise pre-flop - the best hand in the best position - just auto - if the SB wants to play 6h2h he is going to have to invest a bucket of money to do it

if the river was checked to me i would likely bet and call a raise so i'm grateful for the advance notice and definately call

Yeah I don't even have a weak excuse for not raising pf.

Anyhow I was showed J9. This is one hand I think would have called a river raise. Overall though I still think it would have been a bad idea.
