Rivered my flush $5/$10 NL 6 max

[iceman5]

No reads here as the villian is brand new.

3 limpers and I limp on the button with [8s].

Pot $55. Flop [6s][6d]. It gets checked around.

Pot $55. Turn . BB leads for $20. Im the only caller. I almost raised but didnt feel good about it.

Pot $95. River . He checks, I bet $50 and he check raises to $250 and I do what?

I think there are three possibilities here...

1) He's a very good player and puts you on the flush draw when you call, so checks his full house.

2) He's a good player and feels you're weak so is bluff check raising you

3) He's an idiot and randomly decided to check raise for no good reason ... in which he's probably bad enough to have trips as well as hands that beat you. The weakness of that lead is worrying though...

Hmm, only getting 2:1 I think I'd fold this. He could have 68, K6, or a higher flush ... I just think he'd bet more with trips and I don't like putting an unknown on air here.

I like the limp just fine, though I think I'd have bet the flop

I folded.

See? I dont only post winners. Im not sure about raising the turn, but I think its pretty clear Im drawing the way I played it so I doubt he would check raise the river if he couldnt beat the flush.
