I bet out turn, and in your situation I fold the river.

Maybe this is one of those scenarios where the advice "Better to fold a winner, than to play a loser" holds true. Unless I knew more about villain, I'm pretty sure I'd still fold here. It's hard to read the fish on $20+2s. Fish here could have played A8 or 78 (or 82 "sooted" for that matter) from UTG.

As I posted a few hands earlier, I let the hand go on the river without much thought. I only had t85 invested at that point, and had plenty of stack left.

The more that I thought about it this morning, the more that I think his river bet with the Ace high flush after my check was pretty reckless on his part. My play has a pretty reasonable "trapping with a boat" line to it (check/call turn, check river), and with two pair on the board he should have been happy just raking in the smallish pot. The only way that I call is if I'm full, and then I'm not calling. . .I'm pushing.
