Re: not necesary but sweet imo

I call pre, I lead flop cos no competent reg bets this flop light without a hand.

I b/f turn from there on that card and would have c/f that river.

As played c/r river is so bad. Pot size bets are polarizing, you have a bluff catcher, are you starting to see why turning your hand into a bluff is terrible vs a polarized bet?

Re: not necesary but sweet imo

yes, it really does look, & feel like a bluff on the river.... you turned what you thought ws gin into a bluff...and it felt (until the last bet) like you were just hoping to get to showdown. I would've led the flop. and if I were to continue, led the turn to rep.... and if called, shut down, or if raised, just folded , there are just too many hands that beat us. (we are only really ahead of AK, right? )
I agree with fold pre, esp if you not really really good at post flop play (which often means being able to fold a top two pair hand like this). KJ is a serious reverse implied odds hand as you can see from this outcome. , With 250 BB's I'd much rather have 98s than KJ. I'm not saying that, in the heat of the moment, I personally wouldn't have lost a fair amount of chips here, but not my stack.
If I were the villain here, there's no was I would fold Broadway based on your line... If you had the flush it was a little bit suspicious that you checked that flop with a FD, then didn't lead out, but Check raised the turn and ESPECIALLY that you C/R'd the river ....... look at it from V's point of view, it was a very risky check on the river....... if you really thought you had the best hand... why would you risk a check behind, also, as pointed out, it was simply unlucky that the V had the A/spades in his hand, which makes your C/R allin look almost like it has to be a bluff.
you took a shot with the C/R on the turn, that was ok.... it didn't work... not another cent shouldve gone in on that board.

i'm not sure i can be bothered getting involved this early but if i do peel i am betting the flop, because its so connected and because i have two pair. i might give up after that, i might not. certainly not representing the nuts on the river with a c/r all in.
