Strong hand facing river overbet

[turnipmonster]

I really hate making folds like this but am strongly in favor of folding the river, no real in depth reasoning other than getting <2:1 you have to be right a lot.

so obviously he went for a CR on the turn because he felt you were strong enough, and he also knew he didnt have the nut flush. the K-10 call preflop is pretty loose though.

I think he got you to call and that was great but he also didnt get max value for his hand.. so you can look at it two ways.. you playing as cautiously due to the information you have on him saved you some $$.

do you think you could have gotten him off the hand on the flop? what did you think he could possibly hold with a call of that bet on the flop?

by you checking on that turn you obviously were a little scared off by the 3rd club and then you called on the river after you missed a betting round. so with that in mind you should give yourself a pat on the back for a good read.. BUT you denied your first instinct and called on the river anyways.. i think you played it well if you were pretty sure he had the flush.. but if he even holds AQ you miss a lot of betting there.

Sorry you posted the results before I could get my 2 cents in, but here goes anyway.

First, there seems to be a lingering difference of opinion re: 6-Max auto-rate rules. I get mine here: 6-Max Link which makes this guy tight. The difference is one of starting hand selection. So what kind of hand range can call your flop bet?

The last point that continues to fascinate me is what I refer to as the "Pussy Rule" which says this is a clear fold. Fold here, and fold to the previous overbet where you paid him off.
