Wasn't sure since I thought he might have been raising the flop on a flush draw.

He bet the flop. While he may have been betting the flush draw, he also likely could have been betting damn near any two cards. So bet the river.

You HAVE to bet this river. No one's shown any sign of strength yet.

without a question bet the river.

I don't know if I like the raise on the flop.

Seriously? Two overs and a OESD?

Not with only one person in and 2 to act after me. I already have the button and i would like the extra players for extra money if I hit. If I raise then they are much less likely to call 2 bets on the flop and that leaves me heads up with a draw. I like to try to keep lots of people in if possible.

It could be a horrible play also /images/graemlins/grin.gif
