of course I couldn't put him on this hand, but I started suspecting I was beaten
the river bet was a value+protection bet
by protection I mean trying to limit my losses... I think I bet enough for him not to raise with any hand that didn't beat me (so I decided I'd fold any raises)

The Avatar again............so important it seems.

I bet more on flop and river.

Yeh def a bigger bet on the flop, but like already said the turn is not a nice card. Slowing down with sets is always going to be hard especially considering only a 5-7 being the real killer hand, however now the flush draw out there is hit as well so it would def get me thinking. His small raise on the turn is pretty much a cert your beat.. so u should maybe be thinkin about throwing it away then imo.

however it is easy to analyse knowing all avenues, so i could see me getting caught like this too... maybe, but then again i would def be thinkin a hell of a lot come the turn!!

check river, prolly fold vs a big bet
