I don't like how I played the turn. I didn't like the action on the river. Bet/calls when the flush comes, then leads the river? There's still two people here who love their hands and if either has a flush, they beat me. I know most of the time I'm the only one with the flush. Good fold on the river?

You can't fold this. The bet on the river wasn't that strong. I think you're winning.

But, I also agree that your mistake was not betting or raising the turn. If it had been any card other than an A, then you might have second best flush. But, being an A, you just don't know. Bettor had nothing--hence his little bet--and raiser probably had a A small kicker and was not impressed by the initial bet, or he thinks he's being cute. Either way, you have a marginal hand and are OOP, which are tough to play. You might have been seeing monsters under the bed that just weren't there.

This also illustrates the danger at playing from the blinds, too. It's hard to overcome being out of position.

Still, I think you have to call.

After I folded it was raised all-in behind me and called. Overcalling with a small flush for all my chips - would that then be a clear fold?
