    You called his raise on the turn and then checked the river...that shows weakness. If you want to see a show down cheaply then i would have made a small blocking bet on the river, and folded to any raise.

    This type of play is very read dependant though. I would have just treated him as a Tagg, and folded the turn.

    Pot has what, $24? So you are getting 3-1 on your call. You can afford to be wrong a few time to still make that river call profitable.

    Problem is there are not many hands you can beat. Looks like he really liked the 10c. Either it he's bluffing, or has K10 or made the flush.

    The small river bet is most likely a value bet given the way the hand played out. He's probably not on the nuts but has a flush and is begging for a call.

    If you have ablsoutely no read a call would not be the worst mistake you could make given the size of the pot, however, if you are against an aware aggressive opponent he knows that too which is why he bet small.

    If you really wanted to be serious about that pot, you could re pop him on the turn. Only hands that call is the nut flush or a wild player.
    Send lawyers, guns and money - the sh*t has hit the fan!

    I know,if he would go all in on the river i knew i was beat and folded,but if he made a small bet like this on the river i could just call him.And i know most of those guys on 25NL limp alot with suited cards.So him holding AXs was possible but he could have hold many others.

    Since you are posting and based on your second post, it is evident that he has the nut flush.

    Based on his river bet (which was less than how much he put in overall on the turn) I would be more inclined to think that he has KT or a weaker flush, with the weaker flush being the most likely of the two.

    Since he was willing to bet weakly on the river and you aren't raising him, you're getting the right price to showdown - this is worth a call for sure.

    Lots would just pay off the A hi flush here though with an even weaker flush than K hi - it's not a 4 flush board...in which case you either reraise the turn with the intent of getting it allin then or on the river ... or you could check-raise or go allin on the river.

    Well, he wasnt holding nut flush.
    But is a weak bet on the river something u would always call with hands like this?
