River line with straight

[Rockymv]

Call this river getting 4.5:1 even though Villian's line seems obviously flushy?

I would bet the river and fold to a reraise.

First of all, I would just fold the flop. What cards are you hoping for on the turn? Essentially 3 4's, minus the 4h. Nines are basically worthless since it gives you the idiot end of the straight, and anyway, there's also the clear flush draw to contend with.

As played, dunno. I think I fold there.

I think I find a fold on this river.

I would consider check raising the turn and folding to a push...the river card sucks because now any flush and any queen beats you...but i at least consider calling because as played he could have two pair or trips and is betting for value. probably unlikely but you are getting pretty decent odds.

...on second thought i'm probably folding. i might add though, considering you checked to the guy i think if he has nothing than his bet size has pretty good +ev...
