Why didn't you raise the turn? What'd you put him on? Looks like he has a flush.

Call the river. See a showdown.

the villain check-called the turn, not the hero.

With regard to the hand, I am having trouble putting him on a hand here that doesnt reraise the flop that you lose to. But perhaps he was checkraising a blank turn.

Ugh, the more I think about it the more I think he has filled up. I can't see what hands he would be expecting to bluff out on this river. Your flop and turn play must be either a flush or a set.

This is a tough one.

I put him on a set on the turn call or maybe a smaller flush. I did bet the turn...

oops, my bad. Hero couldn't raise the turn.

In regards to the river, couldn't Bus Driver be doing this as a blocking bet?

It is very likely that he is using that river as a scare card. Therefore you have to call.

Too big for that. This either a bluff (bottom 2?) or a full house.

9K with Kh?

i think this is a call here. busdriver may be thinking you didn't like the heart more than the pairing of the board, since you did raise his original bet on the flop with a set.

he has to have a house more than 1/3 of the time for this to be an incorrect call. judging the flop action, i don't think villain would lead out and just call the raise on the flop.

fold.

is that bet exactly whats in the pot?

this seems like a really strangely played hand by villain, why cold call the flop reraise with that draw heavy board with a set? why bet the river so hard with a non nut flush? why bet trips so hard on the 3 hearted board? confusing to me why villain would do any of these things.

youre obviously only beating a bluff but too be honest if i was playing against a mildly bad player a 9 seems more likely than anything else.

otherwise its obviously probably a hand like 97 or a small boat, and you arent good here often enough to call since the bet is the pot.
