Comments on all streets welcome (except for "fold preflop"), but mostly I wonder whether you think betting the river might be a good idea.

Raise the flop. Pop it to atleast t150. That makes the turn and river play easier.

It's not TPTK, by the way.

I raise him to 135 or so on the flop. There's no way I let him draw.

I check behind on the turn. If I decided to bet for some reason, it would be more than that. Are you trying to represent that *you* were drawing for the flush and are trying to keep him in? If so, it will be lost on virtually all 22 players.

I check the river. Maybe you could run a semi-bluff with three to a flush on the board, but the fourth club just hurts too much.

[The Don]

I'd raise the flop to 130 given the flush draw...

The way you played it, I actually think there is value in betting the river. I would make another very small 100 chip bet.

Someone's sarcasm meter needs tuning.

Anyway, yea, raise the flop.

[bluef0x]

You should either check or bet out 250ish on the river... since I'm a chicken I check and lose to his two pair/no flush. The villain cold calling that 100 chip bet is scary and I'd put him on A of clubs or two pair, both beat you but you could get one off of his hand. How frisky are you feeling?

Yuck, hate this situation.

The only better hands you might get to fold are small clubs, but this is not a situation where I would try to bet out small club.

I would take the free showdown. The rest of the hand was played fine IMO.
