SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets</font>, Hero calls, SB folds.

Final Pot: 12 BB

Should I raise this river? Bet from nowhere had me worries about a straight slowplayed on the turn or more obviously a flush (wouldn't this be check-raised?). This is 6-max so making fancy plays happens quite alot but as I've been betting all the way, a bet without a better hand than mine makes no sense. Any thoughts at to what CO might have?

This "bet from nowhere" almost always means a flush or a stone bluff. If CO a tricky player, the this is an easy call. He will reraise you with the flush and fold if he is bluffing. Also, getting an overcall is another bonus here.

I agree a river call is the correct play in this situation for the reasons Shillx gave.

try posting this in the HUSH forum.
that said, a call on the river is good. CO bet screams flush or raggedy 2 pair
