pays off like a broken slot machine?

I just wanted to say that. I fold, you cant even beat top pair, and villain expects you to call.

I was new to the table and haven't played with this man before.

Would anyone check this river? UTG is taking lots of heat which could easily have been a flush draw (considering his flop raise also). I think if you check a bet may go in if you're ahead and you save getting raised if behind. If I bet, I fold to the raise. A king beats you also!

Against an unknown I can't think calling here is going to be positive EV. I agree with the others that folding is probably good.

I ended up folding but was not happy about it

I think if a case can be made for check-calling the river, this is it. The K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] makes the straight, the overpair, the flush... it's the worst card for you. Bet/fold is probably no worse than check-call here, but check-call gets to see his hand. Sure looks like he's on a flush draw.

I vote check/call as well, every single draw just came in,
