    Default 2NF vs river CR

    Opponent is fresh to the tables, over 30 hands or so he has been fairly tight. Quick player search shows he is playing literally a million tables. His leads were all pretty much instantly, river shove came after timing down to the very last second. River is prob an easy fold as played, I wonder if it was smart to raise in the first place and whether or not I should be raising somewhere earilier in the hand.

    He bet weak the entire time to keep you around and then shoves over your river raise. You were being suckered. Good fold. That being said, your river raise was a huge mistake on a paired board.

    Yeah the river raise wasn't a very good idea since you don't have any (perceived) bluffs in your range.

    Bringing the mind home.
    It sucks to call down for the flush and only be able to flat when it hits, but this board and villains tight image make a raise look thin. His betsizing is either something nutty meekly trying to extract or too weak to pay off a raise, so a raise is mostly winning the same a call would when you have the best hand and losing a bunch more when you don't.

    If I was raising anywhere it would be the turn, but blah, calling is probably better cuz you may have showdown value if villain checks river.

    Just a feeling, but feeling says to me we should be raising somewhere. We have one of the best draws and imo should still assume we're up against a wide range as we're BvB.

    So I would raise flop.

    Others haven't said so, so maybe I'm spewing. I'd like to hear some thoughts on it.
