Playing the straight on the river

edited March 2012 in The Poker Clinic
Hi all,

Thought it would be interesting to hear your views on this play.
Looked v good on turn, wasn't too worried until the large raise on the river.
That's where I put the opponent on the flush (unfortunately no tells at this point).
Correct fold?
What about the bet on the river - shold I have checked/called?

    I'd like it more pre if it was suited but not terrible.

    Flop fine.

    Turn bet more at least 70p for me (for more value/charge him more for flush draw if he has it) 4-way as any FD will still call.

    River bet more at least £1.20 , as his raise is SO big it's gotta be a fold I think as not many are doing that with a random King. 

    However if they're really bad they could be doing it with some weird 2 pair or even a slow played set for perceived value but again this info is gained from reads you pick up playing them after a few hands with no history you're simply guessing.
