    Default $16 - (not nut)straight on flush board facing big bet after

    He was 29/10 over 130 hands.
    I timed out on the river and felt pretty bad about it.
    How is it up to turn and what do you do on river?

    Hero checks, UTG bets t900, Hero times out?
    I am just another learning player, so read my comments (very) open minded.

    Paired board you cant totally discount FH either. On the other hand, could trip jacks be doing this? I doubt you see two pair here.

    I like flop and turn. River...toss between b/f and c/c however to a bet that size I probably change my mind to c/f.

    Ouch that is a seriously bad river card for you on a number of fronts. As played I probably c/f, but that may be too weak. The problem is by checking, you may well have induced a bluff with something you beat, but you have no way of knowing.

    Considering the board came double suited on the turn, I wonder whether just shoving it right there is another possibility. You are only behind AT at this point

    Do you have FE here if you lead the river? Villain has a lot to think about if he doesn't have the nuts here. I think b/f is good on river. I like this as a good spot to put pressure on an opponent who hasn't shown strength. That is very likely to be a scare card for him too.
