Is this just standard... Good enough for the last call on the river?

You need to be good 1:8 times to call the river raise, which I doubt you are. By calling you are however telling the SB not to take stabs at you on the river in the hands to come, which is worth a bit too, making it a call for me.

I might lean towards checking the river without a read. When he calls the flop and the turn, what hands could he have? Will he call the river with a pair of 3's or ace hi? Would he limp an ace and call down? I just don't see much value in a river bet. A Queen or 5 beats you, and a club draw probably folds.

I can't help you if you dont start posting reads. Situations like this are ridiculously read dependant.

I agree with vinnox, check/calling the river is problably the best way to play it. Catching a bluff by a busted flushdraw from time to time while kepping losses at a minimum when your beat.

The other streets I play the same.

What kind of read do you have on them? Would they slow play a 5 or a Q here? If not you have to think of what hand they may put you on? I think they see you as a busted flush draw, thats why they raise. I would call, reraise with a better read.

after thinking about it for a minute, this is such a read dependent play, its almost impossible to help you
