SB seems maybe a little loose preflop but quite solid, BB looks good.
How is the check through on the flop? I figure this may a) allow me a shot at completing my flush for a probable showdown-winner against an ace; b) look like an obviously slowplayed Ace and set up a turn semibluff if I don't hit and am checked to again; and c) avoid a checkraise. However, it might also prompt a turn bet from a mid PP that I wouldn't be able to call.
On the turn I'm pretty much sure that BB has an Ace. I think calling here is bad, BB has 9 outs to a boat provided he does indeed have an ace and not the rather unlikely 55 or 33, and he will likely call me with his ace. SB likely has a mid PP and will fold to a push, but when I look at the hand now I realize that my repeated calls would be quite scary to a mid PP too, as I'm representing a mid-high pair that doesn't want to be bluffed out of the pot.
Now that SB is in on the river, I think I have to push. I doubt SB will overcall with anything that he would not call a push with, and I am very likely ahead of BB. This river play was a real brain fart and I'm not at all happy with it.
Thanks for any and all comments, I think I played this hand poorly especially on the turn and river. Am I right in thinking I should push the turn?
