Re: Fold this river?
The problem is there's all sorts of hands you can put him on here. He could have a pair, or he could have a flush, or a straight. I think you should have raised a bit more PF, so that he wouldnt call here with 67 or 2 suited. I don't mind the turn check because I'm willing to let this hand go so early on. If you bet strong on the turn, he smooth calls, then what do you do on river? If you bet again youre basically all in and he might be slow playing his made str8/flush. If you check and he pushes, then what? In summary-
* slightly larger PF bet
* the flop bet was fine, you didnt give him good odds for str8 or flush or an ace
* that 8 diamonds was a really bad card.. I'm fine with check/folding at this point
