i just cant see raising to "commit yourself to the river." that sounds silly, to me.
when he led the dollar into a $2 pot, i thought he had to hit the 6 to make a set. or, it was a blocking bet for his flush draw. my raise was sized to take his odds to chase away, which it did. i raised $2.50 into $3. he had to call $2.50 into $6.50 with one card to come. he's only getting 2.5:1.
if its the set, he would likely push over my raise. if its the flush draw, so be it. but, since the flush hit, and he sort of repped that 6, the river push became a fold to me. its most likely one or the other. the aggression told me i wasnt best.
if that flush card didnt hit, i may have called to see the pair of 6's that peeled.
i dont feel that i should raise it more on the turn and drive off something that is beat. i just need to make sure you cannot draw profitably. AK, KQ, KJ are hands that may think i was betting my draw on the flop, and am now trying to bluff. besides, i dont want myself committed to this hand too early. QJ and 2 clubs are possibly still coming along, unprofitably, but they are coming.
if he value bets the river, i call in a flash, though.
thats the thought process. i just needed to hear it wasnt necessarily weak/tight to fold the river with an overpair.
