Bet the River?

[sx3_turbo]

EDIT: I'm a MORON and choose poor examples.

Here's my real question. I have QQ and hit Qxx (two of the cards are suited) on the flop. I have 3+ people call down to the river when the river card puts three to a flush on the board. If I'm first to act, do I still bet into the pot? Would I fold for any reason? I would guess it's obvious someone has a flush if it came back to me capped. I'll try and pick better hands to post as examples next time. I hate myself.

Dude.

You have a full house on the river.

If villain had 88 then you lose.

You played the hand well up until the river.

What am I missing here. You have the 2nd best hand possible. Bet and try your best to get it capped.

Wow no offense man but what were you thinking?

[sx3_turbo]

So I realized I am an idiot and posted a hand that I thought illustrated the one I wanted, but missed entirely. I took it out and posed the question again sans example. I'm really not stupid...promise...but maybe. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Hey now, don't be so hard on yourself.

In the new situation you described yes, I do bet the river and I usually call a raise unless I have some specific read otherwise. If they've hit a flush, so be it, but they may have also hit something like two pair.

Obviously there are several factors that come into play (pot size, is your opponent really tight or really loose/aggressive) but to answer your question generally - yeah I usually bet and call a raise.
