Another river value bet question
 

Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (6 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls, MP folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (3 SB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">SB bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, UTG calls, SB calls.

Turn: (4.50 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls, SB calls.

River: (7.50 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG checks.

Final Pot: 7.50 BB
<font color="green">Main Pot: 7.50 BB, between SB, Hero and UTG.</font>

UTG calling two cold gave me the vague impression of chasing a flush since so many people chase it regardless of odds. I planned to check/call the river. Does anyone make a case for betting (folding to a raise?)

I fold on the flop.

I guess your hand was good enough to raise on the flop and lead on turn so you bet the river? I just don't know, I've never been here.

Nice turn card though...

Re: Another river value bet question
 

I'm definitely not raising the flop. This is a very weak flop for you. Folding is the right call. Getting past that mistake though, I think I would bet the river.

I would fold the flop: the pot is small. If it was just the SB, I would bet the river, but with UTG there (and the way he'd played the hand), I think I check/call.
