Would you guys check the river if the flush draw was available since the flop instead of the turn?
I'm interested in responses to this question. Mine is, dude, you got coolered. You were looking to play a big pot and he luckboxed. With stack sizes the way they were this hand more or less played itself on your end. On his, I guarantee his thinking was "well, I got top pair, oooh, I picked up a flush draw, my hand is really improving now!"
He never had direct odds to call two streets whether he had the flush draw on the flop or the turn. He played the hand poorly.
To answer your question, I'm going to ask you a question: what's the intent of your check? Would you actually fold the straight to a bet in this spot?
They don't always have it, especially when "it" is such a limited part of a villain's range. Sometimes they do. That's poker, you will lose more money succumbing to Monster Under the Bed Syndrome than you will folding in this spot.
