Re: Do you bet the river?

Checking this flop is horrible.
The board contains a 2-flush, so bet and protect your hand. As the preflop raiser you're expected to bet almost regardless of the flop anyway, so checking just looks suspicious.
When BB calls SB's turn bet and then caps, I just want the cheapest possible showdown, so I check the river.

Small point: we're betting the flop for value more than protection. We're never getting a flush draw to fold. We can, though, protect against weak backdoor draws, gutshots, pairs which have set outs against us, and so on.
Betting this flop is absolutely automatic, though. So is, in my opinion, betting the river.
