My question is on the river but comments on all streets are appreciated if you spot any mistakes. Is that a good river raise? If he three bets do I just call or cap?

[TheShootah]

I like the river raise. Notice that the only real threat to your nut flush is a full house, but the way he just called it down and the fact that you had a Q and an A makes this very unlucky. He may have just had Aces up here, and bet on the river for value.

[jon_1van]

you better raise that river

if he 3 bets I'd only call....I'll only cap against a super LAG

[Andy B]

You played the whole hand about right. If he plays at all sensibly, you can only call the river. There are a few on-line players who do not play at all sensibly, though. I mean, you've got all those diamonds showing. He should know that you've made a flush when you raise. Some will doubt your sincerity, however. If he's an idiot, he may not think about your flush possibility, and you don't risk that much by re-raising, because he can't re-raise you.

[BeerMoney]

You will have tougher, more confusing hands in the future.
