Default 2/4 Folding a flush when board pairs on river

Villain is 30/6/3 By the river, I figured I was ahead of exactly a bluff and that's it. Is it ok? What do you put him on?

CO ($345.50)
Button ($262)
Hero ($382)
BB ($800.55)
UTG ($460.90)
UTG+1 ($442.95)
MP1 ($153.50)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls $4, UTG+1 calls $4, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Button calls $4, Hero completes, BB checks.

Hero checks, BB checks, UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets $8</font>, Button calls $8, Hero calls $8, BB folds, UTG calls $8.

Turn: ($52) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $40</font>, UTG calls $40, UTG+1 folds, Button folds.

I think you played this hand like crap. Villain could have AA, JA, (w/ a missed club), who knows. Id either block this river or c/call depending on my opponent's tendencies, but usually I block (value?) bet.

AA? He played this hand immensely strangely if he had AA. Certainly not like a player with his aggression statistics would.

AJ seems at first glance a possibility, but I highly doubt he'd check the flop and then call a small bet on the flop with it, again, especially not with his aggression rating.

It seems to me that he either has a flush, which is most likely higher than mine, or a slowplayed set turned into a full house. Even aggressive players tend to slowplay sets at times, but rarely top pair.

I wasnt really trying to predict his hand so much as demonstrate his range is still pretty wide on the river. I agree AA is unlikely.

I'd lead the turn a little larger. I was contemplating a turn check/push here, but there are two very obvious risks here that make it not the best line.
As played, I think I lead the turn for 1/2 pot and fold to a raise. Give yourself a chance to win the pot at least.

I prob call river. I'm usually willing to call 25bb on river bet that's less than pot, even with paired board. He could have AcTd, or KcJh type hand.

If Villain is any good his flop bet tells us a lot about his hand. He's not protecting against the flush draw, he is either trying to get a cheap flush card or hoping he get raised if he has a set. You are behind both hands.

I really think that villain would have ck raised/led with a set on that flush draw flop. Therefore, I think if he is beating you, he has a higher flush most of the time.

This is very read dependent, but I think you are good here enuf to make the call on the river...
