Wow, I didn't realize how awful that river bet was. Definite error there. I still don't think the small bet makes him value shove worse hands though.

I totally agree with P4s that this should have been a fairly easy fold. I called it at the time because it was the first flush draw I'd hit in days and thought the poker gods wouldn't do that to me. But afterwards I was really upset with my call. I knew nothing but a flush plays the way he did and there's no way mine is good. Yeah I bet small, but he still shouldn't think he can bluff me off the hand. Plus, it's so rare someone makes river raise bluffs at this level.

But honestly, if I was thinking clear at the time, not influenced by my rough run of late, I make the fold no question.
