    Default Flush. Did I not get enough value?

    no reads.

    Texas Hold'em $2-$2 NL (Real Money)


    Seat 7: Michaelxxx25 ($40.70 in chips)
    Seat 8: borj17 ($207.55 in chips)
    Seat 9: Hero ($211.35 in chips)

    Hero has QhJh

    ANTES/BLINDS
    Michaelxxx25 posts blind ($1), borj17 posts blind ($2).

    PRE-FLOP
    Hero bets $7, Michaelxxx25 folds, borj17 calls $5.

    FLOP [board cards 7H,9H,4H ]
    borj17 checks, Hero bets $12, borj17 calls $12.

    TURN [board cards 7H,9H,4H,4C ]
    borj17 checks, Hero bets $28, borj17 bets $65, Hero calls $37.

    RIVER [board cards 7H,9H,4H,4C,10D ]
    borj17 checks, Hero bets $127.35 and is all-in, borj17...


    Did I play this hand OK? I'm not sure about my turn play. I think flop and turn bets are fine. But what should I do after borj crs the turn?
    I don't think I can fold the turn, because I have such good odds and a good hand.

    His turn play suggests that he either has trips, a boat or a flush or a random donk hand or maybe Ahxo. I was scared of a higher flush and a boat so I just call his turn bet. Is it better to push here? I don't think I can fold to an allin river bet, so I might as well put the money in and not give him a chance to get away. If I just call I give him the chance to draw out on me or bluff the river. I think I should probably have pushed the turn after his checkraise.

    He checks the river. I think I'm good here and I push for value.

    What do you think?

    Just shove the turn because a heart, 4, 7, or 9 kills your hand. He might make a stupid call with a hand that has outs but c/f the river if he misses. If you have a read that he's a big bluffer then call turn call river is fine I guess.

    What he said.

    But with how you played the turn the river push is fine since it's under pot.
