look at pot odd

The guy showed zero aggresion, so there was no way to know he had the higher flush. I can't even figure out why he was in the hand anyway Q4o ? wtf ? You had to bet that hand to find out where you were. I don't think there was anything wrong with your play.

Fnord ? Please correct me !!!!

Thank You

Well played. If he had a brain I'd consider a check/call on the river.

[zenbitz]

Good, glad I'm not insane.

From a meta-game perspective, is it better to play as I did, - he wins with the straight - reinforcing his bad play. OR to check/fold, letting him think I am so gutless as to fold on the river.

From a meta-game perspective,

Dude, you're playing .5/1 and not betting your flush draws...
