After being raised and re-raised on the river i was fairly certain i was beat. Still with the top flush and a big pot i had trouble laying it down.
So fold the river? or maybe even cap it?

I would raise the flop. With a flop raise, you are either going to get enough callers to make the raise for value or you could potentially buy yourself the button and take a free river if you want. Given how you played it, I probably also call down the river at a 1/2 table since somebody might be going crazy with a worse flush, 9T, or even trip 6's. Depends quite a bit on my read of CO though. Once you are in for 3 bets on the river, there is no way you can fold to UTG+3's cap even though you are beat here probably 95% of the time. I'm too lazy to figure out exactly how big the pot is on that river, but it seems big enough to want a showdown.

i say the same thing...call the "crying" call to the river. lots of full houses out there, but this IS 1/2 at pacific, and you have to play your big hands BIG over here.

that said, it wouldnt surprise me to hear 72o took down the pot.
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!
