Was I dumb for even considering laying this down?
 

The thought crossed my mind and I slapped myself. I am not being results oriented but I wanted a second opinion.

With all that action in the river, considering folding is not dumb IMHO

Re: Was I dumb for even considering laying this down?
 

You are very likely to be 2nd best here.

Re: Was I dumb for even considering laying this down?
 

So you guys think I should fold this river?

Re: Was I dumb for even considering laying this down?
 

Very good chance that you are second best. Still, independent of that, I think your raise on the river was pretty bad.

The point of raising on the river is to either:
<ul type="square">[*]Get better hands to fold, or[*]Get worse hands to call you[/list]
Neither of which will happen here. Someone who has a better flush is unlikely to fold this. Someone who has worse than a flush will not call this, given the 3 clubs on the board and the action. If you are going to play this hand, it would be better just to call it, since by raising you are reopening the betting for Kjellson, who is the person most likely to have the higher flush.

I would just call on the end.. taking a page from Barry G, that might be a zero play.. aka the only hand that can call you is a hand that will beat you. You still have a flush though, so calling is a good option

Re: Was I dumb for even considering laying this down?
 

I would have a hard time getting away from this hand, but I think I would have just called the river bet. You said yourself you were thinking about folding. Obviuously you had some doubts in your mind about this hand. So I think just calling would have been best.

Just call on the end, you may be best and you might get an overcall from a straight or 2 pair.
