Nasty, but I think you played it ok. Without stats you can't get much more aggressive and you can't fold to either of those bets. Hope he showed you AT and not the flush

Bet the turn and fold to a raise. Value bet the river if called and fold to aggression. If villain had the flush, you got off cheap. A $20 bet on the turn folded to a raise loses you less money here.

What happens if i bet 20 on the turn and he calls?

20 on the river?

check/call or check/fold. probably check/fold since any hands that you're beating would be happy to take the free showdown.

River card is BAD. With the 4-straight and flush out there, 1-pr is not usually winning this hand. I check and hope he checks behind (somewhat weak-tight -- I am sure others will note). If not, I think you make the crying call of a half pot or less bet. Villain can't be totally happy unless he has the flush.

thx for the advice [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

villain shows a set of 8s.

So that flush card saved me some money

Villain misplayed the flop badly. He probably could have gotten you to call a decent flop raise before Armageddon hits the turn and river.
