I like the turn check and the river call.

Looks good to me, I would have played it the same.

Nothing I can think of that I would do different.

I was feeling like maybe it was a bit weak to just call the river bet.

In a cash game I might just call on the river with your hand because I don't wanna be reraised with deep stacks. But in a tournament having a bigger stack than the others is relevant. This guy will pay off with any jack and any heart if you raise about 3x here. The turn check is perfect. I think you raised a little too much on the flop. I treat a donk mini bet like a check, so I would just raise about 2/3 pot.

EDIT:
I just noticed the 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] makes a straight flush. Now I'm not so sure since there's two hearts that beat you.

The only hand that would call a reraise is one that beats you. King-high flush if good but not the nuts with that board. BB could have the A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or maybe even filled up.

Calling your strong hand may seem weak but it is a smarter play in the long run. BB was probably making a blocking bet disguised as a value bet, which was also smart on his part.

This is my reasoning for only calling the river as well. In addition to the A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] the 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] gives villan a straight flush. The K is on the 3rd nut flush in this case, and with a paired board is pretty far down the list to be reason to raise.

Don't worry about that, the board is paired and two differnt hearts beat you as well, calling is the only option really.

One thing you should keep in mind when you check the turn in position to keep the pot small/playing WAWB, is that you should call a lot of river leads by the villian because you will induce a lot of bluffs.

Nice hand.

Yeah the check def. wasn't with the intention of folding the river. I think it allows me to keep the pot small and maybe make him bluff at the river with a weak hand. Guessing from what everyone else is saying, that was the right way to do it.
