two things.

1 - I think a river fold is fine here, especially against a reasonable player

2 - the flop checkraise is ok, but your thought process of knocking peope out...

I woulc d just call here, and its not because i *don't* want to knock people out, but its because I think I will only fold hands that I want to come along....bascially, which actino builds a bigger pot?

I was thinking the same thing. anyone with a flush draw is getting like 8-1 calling 2 cold, so they're not going anywhere and they're not making a mistake to call. (Hell this is party, they're not folding the flush draw no matter the odds anyway.)

the only hands you're going to knock out are the ones you want calling, ones with a pair that think they have 6 outs to two pair or trips.

But Stox, u really think check-calling is the play on the flop!? I like betting out, watching everyone call, then 3 betting when LP raises.
