    Standard. Although I might value bet the river against this tool.

    Good point - but, in this case how much would you consider a value bet, where you can dump if raised, but which won't indicate weakness and prompt a reraise from anyone who figures out you weren't drawing to the flush?

    $2.50 to $3.00? Doesn't leave you will all that much behind, but at least if you are raised here, you can be confident that you are beat, or at least outplayed by a brave bluffer (not often at this limit).

    The problem here is you don't know if you are faced with AQ, QT, QJ, etc. I hate dumping a solid hand on the river to the obvious draw when it's headsup - if you're 3-4 way, you can assume that 1 caller is drawing...but in this case, he could have a set, he could have just 1 pair, or he could have the flush. If I flush someone, I don't tend to bet this much on the river as a value bet...though often enough it's not terrible as it looks like it doesn't want to be called, but does, and probably is called.

    wow tough hand to get away from. I think I might call here and probably loose to a flush
    It's easy to shoot fish in a barrell............. Just throw in a stick of dynamite!!

    I'd tend towards a blocking bet on the river

    Maybe you just folded against AQ/KQ or a simple bluff because you showed fear on the river. Yes he might have a flush, or a straight with KJ (he might have 'felt lucky' holding this on the flop and turn).. but I'd definately bet around 1/2 pot on the river to get some information. (blocking bet)

    I mean, checking on the river after a "possible flush" hits after raising all the streets before, is just asking for your opp to bluff you out of a better hand.
