I check/fold. Pot is small, a lot of hands beat you.

Some may say bet/fold, but I don't think the flush is the only hand we have to worry about.

I check-fold here.

Clarkmeister's theorm says that when you are out of position, had a reasonable hand before the river, and the fourth flush card hits on the river but you don't have one, you should bet-fold. The difference here is that the fourth flush card is an overcard to your pair and the post is very small. I'd pass here.

When a man like Clarkmeister says 100% of the time (http://archiveserver.twoplustwo.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&amp;Board=&amp;Number=1241345&amp;page=&amp; view=&amp;sb=5&amp;o=&amp;fpart=), he doesn't mean 100% of the time you feel like betting. This is a clear bet/fold. In a larger pot or if you'd made a straight you might call the raise, but here you fold. Don't listen to the check/callers.
