Villain is 42/11/3.8 No reads.
PokerRoom No-Limit Hold'em, $0.5 BB (5 handed) converter

Hero ($54.90)
Button ($45.25)
SB ($25.05)
BB ($42.45)
UTG ($194.45)

Preflop: Hero is MP with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls $0.50, Hero calls $0.50, 1 fold, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($2.50) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $2, SB folds, BB calls $2, UTG folds.

Turn: ($6.50) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB bets $2, Hero calls $2.

River: ($10.50) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $4.5, BB raises to $19, Hero?

I put him on hearts, 9's full, or trips. Since he made the flop call, x9 seems less likely than the others. The river C/R is very bad if he doesn't have the full house. I'm getting 34/14.5 = 2.3:1

Is this a fold or a crying call?
Do you check behind on the river?
Any other comments appreciated as well.

fold and keep the stack.

Id probably call. He doesnt know you have a flush.

Surely he would raise the turn with a draw heavy board if that 9 made him two pair.
Also surely hes not stupid enough to give away a free heart if he flopped trips.
Id be more worried about a suited ace as it looks like hes drawing.

I think you where beat by an ace high flush here, but a lot of times your seeing a 9 here, a worse flush or someone make a move when a super scare card like that drops.
I like betting my nut flush draws because of how often people bluff me when i hit it.

I think you have to call or push with a k high flush probably has trip 9's or smaller flush. Fold to those bets and they will keep coming.
