I mean on turn, im getting laid like 3-1 , if he bets more turn i can pass, but i got a pair , striaght draw and flush draw, when the other guy calls thoogh on turn i cud be behind if i hit my flush, but considering imc alling to hit, do you think i put in too bad a value bet on river.
Hes representing Kx or 2 pair , so i cud bet around 9k or something couldnt I , Thoughts on river bet?

I think looking back i bet smaller, so if i got re raised by the guy behind me it would be cheaper and maybe i could even pass? If i was heads up i would almost certainly bet a bit more.

Nothing wrong with being a bit cautious but I think I would have bet a bit more, mainly because if he does raise then you know he is at least representing the flush then you decide to call or pass it.

Hopefully he is a player who cannot lay down his hand less than a flush and calls. If he folds then the pot is decent enough to take down. I would also hope that the river checker is not the type to get tricky and check raise with the nuts or something.

nah, i was pretty certain the check on river wasnt for a check raise, the guy behind me is the only worry.

The bet on the river is ok. It doesn't pot commit you and it makes for a easier call for your opponent. With the smaller bet you may also get called by both of them, they'll be getting over 5-1.
