I hate these damn flopped flush boards. If I'm going to check/call allin on the river, I should just put him allin anyway...I just figured if he had the flush draw and missed then he was just gonna dump here anyway. If he had the flush I'd be forced to pay it off given the pot size etc.
At the same time, there's the possibility that he has 2 pair/trips, since people aren't so likely to chase down a K hi flush here.
Anything else you'd change?

Huh? This is a sweet flop + turn for your hand dude. And river is an easy push. Not even close, unless you want to induce a bluff.

Pussed out for some stupid ass reason...had an extremely similar hand earlier on a diff site with KK and K of flush suit...villain had $15 behind on end and pushed the river with Ace crap of the suit, but had flopped the nut flush.
Still spanking myself for making that call...but I was probably committed to call what looked like an overbluff anyway.
This is mostly posted as a reminder to myself not to puss out in these situations when I'm going to call anyway.
As you said, I might induce a bluff from a worse hand - but with the A on board, it's not very likely that someone would donk-bluff in this spot. And I could have had this guy escape with his last $7 here.
