I believe I would have lost the same.

Gotta love them calling down and then raising on the river as that third club comes out...

I think villain played his hand fine here too. He had tons of outs and there was no way he was folding any street for one bet.

I would have check-called the river. Betting out when the 3rd flush card comes down is just inviting a raise and costing you more to show down your hand. IOWs, You can't fold on the river because the pot is pretty big, but you can't value bet either!

Against very predictable opponents where you can be almost certain that a river bet here means they hit the flush then you can even fold on the river, BUT you have to be careful not to do this too often. You have to be VERY sure they hit their flush. In smaller pots, you can fold more often, but in larger pots you almost always have to make the crying call.

I'm sorry, but this is just very bad advice. If you are checking this river because of a backdoor flush hitting, you are losing out on a LOT of value in the long run. This is definately a river value bet situation. Then to even suggest thinking about check/folding the river is just beyond my comprehension. I would definately suggest thinking a little harder about the types of hand you are likely to be up against here and how many will happily call your river bet and lose

I'm sorry, my bad. You are right!! I misread the hand and didn't realize that it was a backdoor flush. (In bold to emphasize my mistake )

Nehmer is right, you have to bet for value on that river. How you respond to the raise is the more interesting question. You have to ask yourself 'what hands do you think villian can raise on the river here with?'

Think B&M here. Does anyone think that against the most str8-forward, predictable, weak-passive players (that you play with every day and therefore know very well) you can safely fold to this river raise, or is the pot just too big?

i think you make the crying call if for no other reason than to prevent people from bluffing you off the best hand in the future. betting all the way to the river then folding to one raise shows incredible weakness and is an invitation for others to bully the hell out of you.

You can fold against some small stakes B&M players, but it is a bad habit to start, since once you move up in stakes, folding is horrible.
To win in poker you only need to be one step ahead of your opponents. Two steps may be detrimental.

That's why you can only fold to the most preditable weak passives (that you know VERY well) who would only raise that river with a set or flush etc. Even still, you have to think about the size of the pot and make an EV plus read-based decision.

It works to your advantage for the trickier players to see you make this fold. They will assume that you will make this laydown against them too, but you can disappoint them by always making the crying call when THEY raise the river.

I agree; up until the river it is standard. But, there are some interesting considerations on the river worthy of discussion. e.g. I really don't think you always need to call this river raise and there's some merit in finding a fold in the right situations provided (i) you 'know' you are beaten, and (ii) you are aware of what it could do to your image and how you might be able to exploit that on future hands.

You should always be calling this river.

I wasn't saying it was a bad beat and whining. It was more of whether or not the value bet was justified.
