Seen as we don't get much HU SnG action posted here I thought I'd start...

Pretty happy with checking the flop with the intention of calling (at this stage).

Do you prefer a bet on the turn once he's checked the flop behind?

Can the river only be a flush? Can't see him not c-betting Ax or Tx, so can only think flush or maybe like 67

    I cant really give advice at these as im terrible at them, but i would bet the turn for value as we very likely have the best hand.

    As played you should fold as your not beating anything, but if your gonna play a few games with this player it might be worth a call just to see the flush, just to check they are not capable of weird bluffs.

    it might have been better to do a  40bet/F right away as any one with an A would probably want to raise on flops which has flush draws, while someone with flush draws wouldn't want to drain too much incase it doesn't come so would only raise with a pair as well as a flush draw
    your way of playing the flop is understandable, it was probably best to then go for a 40 bet on the turn followed by 40/f on the river
    as for this way i think greghogg is right about the call on the river as he might have thought you tried bluffing that flush  and his raise might have been two picture cards or a differant flush draw

    Yeah, not sure why I didn't bet the turn tbh.

    @Craig - The reason I don't bet the flop is because I'm not the pre-flop raiser and villian will c-bet alot of the time whether he's hit or not so I can get more money in when I've got the best hand by checking. I don't donkbet in these very often tbh and if I do it here, there's not much worse that can call me.

    Bet turn check call river imo.  Can see theres an argument for betting river as were losing value by checking but i think its better to check call to give him a chance to bluff.

    Just can't see many hands at all that he would go check, check, bluff with... what are they?

    He probably either jsut checks the river too with some showdown value like a random PP or gives up with complete air, like KQ

    Hard to define his range as he is passive on the flop but calls on the turn.  So im looking to get to cheap showdown on the river.  Dont get me wrong i still think we have the best hand just puts us in an awkward spot on the river if he raises.  Think you made the right fold on the river even tho its a minimum raise as it has to be a value raise by him.

    No wait sorry misread hand you checked turn think you have to bet turn here.  But as you have checked the turn then yea you definately have to bet the river
