    Default Top two BB special, 3-flush on river (25NL)

    Again apologies if this is standard. What is the correct river line here? Opp is 32/9/1.8 over 180 hands.

    (YAY SNGs where all decisions are made before the turn).

    SB ($23.30)
    Hero ($59.95)
    UTG ($26.05)
    UTG+1 ($38.10)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 5, 8.
    2 folds, MP1 calls $0.25, 2 folds, Button calls $0.25, 1 fold, Hero checks.

    Flop: ($0.85) 3, 8, 5 (3 players)
    Hero bets $0.5, MP1 calls $0.50, Button folds.

    Not sure what we're beating by the river here, but giving up seems too weak. I probably just block for $2.50 or so against a fish. Against a player who's more tight passive postflop, maybe just check and fold to a bet. I think most hands we beat check behind here anyways.

    (block) bet, fold to a raise.
    check/call reasobaly bet is ok

    check and fold to any bet is too weak imo.
    This spot is easy for villain to bluff, so it's likely you catch of a bluff.

    Maybe bet the flop a bit more. You're charging a flush draw enough that way to call off these reasonably river bets and still be a winner in the long run.

    I agree with this but there are alot of hands that beat us now and I'd rather block/fold for $2.50-$3.00 than c/c $5-$6 since it is a very slim call.
