Fold the river unless you think that this guy would bet the flop with absolutly nothing. There is no reasonable hand he could have bet on the flop that doesn't have you beaten.

I would bet the turn, and fold to a raise. If he calls and checks to you on the river, check.

I do agree with wages to fold the river the way you played it though.

The reason I didn't say to bet the turn and fold to a raise is because he has a decent flush draw. With no flush draw that would be the correct line.

Oops, overlooked the J /images/graemlins/spade.gif draw, on the turn.

I like the way you played it, and I fold on the river. I think it's pretty easy to expect to see a King with a medium/weak kicker.

I folded. I figured that the only thing I could beat would be a bluff, given the action.

Raising this flop for a free card is the wrong play. If you're behind, what are you hoping to see on the turn? A Jack? A spade? If so, fold the flop instead, you are drawing very slim in a small pot. You should be raising this flop because you think you have the best hand, which means you should bet the turn too. You can check behind on the river..
