How did I play this? lol, I was thinking of pushing on the river, but I didnt know how much he would call. When do you know when to push in situations like this? I always hear of people "De-stacking" constantly, but whenever I confidently push I always get folds, and therefore I usually just do a strong raise to get as much value as I can. I also may have played the hand wrong post flop (chasing the nut flush, but I thought I had good pot odds considering he was min raising); however, I do think my preflop raise was good.
