    Ok, its one of those hands you might have won if he hadn't hit his draw to the straight, but while I can certainly see a Cbet on the flop as not bad as you did raise preflop (but too weakly for it to mean much other than build a bigger pot). The turn you pick up more outs and so firing again isn't horrible either. However on the river you have 4 to a straight and he has called you on two streets. Either he was drawing to hearts or he had something all along. So I'm not sure firing a river bluff queen high is overly great as he only isn't calling if he was on the hearts draw, as not much else drawing wise would make sense with his calls on flop and turn. So on that board I likely C/F on the river, as we just aren't beating anything other than a total bluff if he fires.

    Also, might not have made it quite as big on the turn, but can see point to doing it both ways if your draw does hit you get paid off a bit more, but still. I don't think the line is horrible at all, just think I'd have given it up on the river on this board. Sometimes a triple barrel gets it done, just not sure this board was a good spot for it, as to much on there he could have a piece of.

    ok this is one of these hands the guy is in the hand what can you do.
    chances are he felt like playing and you wuldnt get him off the hand if you bet £1000 but in future in this position.
    because your out of pos i would have made it about 50p big raise due to being out of pos plus you hand isnt that strong to alot of hands.
    on the flop the cbet is ok i guess but another way you may want to look at it is if you check here and see what he does if he puts in a raise i would re raise him (ex. he bets 50p you re raise to 1.50) im sure he would have folded then if he checks then i would fire out on turn for pot.

    when river comes you do have nothing so if he calls all tht way you got to concede that he has you beat so c/f is only thing i could find

    I think you played it fine if you put him on the flush draw by betting the river. I would check raise him here if you have him on the draw to get value from the draw as he can't have the ace to call with anything else. Check folding is fine tho if you don't have any idea what he has
