    Default BB trips on flop, flush hits the river

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    UTG+1 ($2.75)
    MP1 ($2.91)
    MP2 ($4.39)
    MP3 ($4.54)
    CO ($3.24)
    Button ($1.21)
    SB ($8.24)
    Hero (BB) ($2.66)
    UTG ($6.80)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with ,
    5 folds, CO calls $0.02, 1 fold, SB calls $0.01, Hero checks

    Flop: ($0.06) , , (3 players)
    SB bets $0.04, Hero raises to $0.12, CO calls $0.12, 1 fold

    Turn: ($0.34) (2 players)

    River: ($0.86) (2 players)
    Hero checks, CO bets $0.48, Hero calls $0.48

    Total pot: $1.82 | Rake: $0.05

    CO is 60/10 over 120 hands. Flush coming in on the river is just bad for me, I don't think I get any value out of Jx hands, better 9x hands of course will call and flushes will come over the top of any bet I make, along with some bluffs, and I have to fold to any raise on the river. Is calling here a little too spewy?

    I rather b/f here than c/c.
    Don't want him to check back Jx or TT,88. Plus villain is probably not gonna bet those hands if he does bet its 9x,straigt,flush,fullhouse maybe the worst he bets is KJ.

    If you thought villain would value bet incorrectly or try to bluff then c/c is better I guess.

    disagree, especially KJ...
    i bet-fold or check-fold this river
    the bet is pretty small if i choose to bet-fold. Any value to be had here is pretty thin given that his range is 9x hands that beat you, Jx hands that you beat, and draws that hit on the river.

    you're not ahead of much that will bet when checked to, but 60-10s are unpredictable like that, so i find it hard not to station myself into calling small bets. That's why I prefer to make a small bet myself.

    How big a bet should I be making if I am b/f? I know I shouldn't be c/c the river, but I was really trying to be optimistic that this guy would try to v-bet Jx. Also, was my turn sizing alright or should I be closer to potting it on the turn?
