I think betting on the gutshot is what you're supposed to do... I'll have to remember that.

Why wouldn't you check that river?

Given the size of the pot relative to your stack, how often are you getting a better hand to fold vs paying off a better hand vs getting a worse hand to call (not often enough; too often; almost never)

If you are going to bet that river, what does an all-in bet accomplish that a pot sized bet wouldn't?

[allLiving]

If I bet pot, he would have raised all in anyways. He checked it so i figured him to be scared of the flush. I bet the flush when I sense weakness in my opponent.
