I've played it for the flush and took my free card on the turn so would calling his bet on the river be a mistake seeing as though I made the flush? I reckon I should raise because if he has a jack he'll just call and if he has a full house he'll push then I can fold (or maybe folding to a push would be a mistake?). Any thoughts would be appreciated. The SB wasn't very loose or overly aggressive: his stats were 24/13/1.5

Always raise for value.I could fold this if I knew villain slowplayed monsters and played his medium-strenght hands fast,but even then I'd probably call this.

wow. this is a horrible spot.

i dont think J2, J5, or J6 are in his range that much. he could possibly have a smaller flush, and his line would fit that.

call. all day.
