I thought i was invincible on the flop, should i have bet it and get rid of him or try to get him to keep betting it?

Fold to pre-flop raise, you have a hand of feet.
Flop is OK.
Turn is poor, raise enough that flush-draw is not getting odds if it calls. I make it roughly 5K in the pot when you call so you should raise another 4-5K.
River raise isnt good, only likely to get called by a hand that beats you here.

I originally thought "dont raise river" but I think this amount will get called by the likes of 2-pair .... but he pretty much never has 2pair.

Fold preflop - you have bad position, bad relative position and bad cards.

Raise the flop - you have the nut straight on a board with 3-broadways on it (aka somebody else is likely to have something good to pay you with). This would allow you to push any turn.

If not, then raise more on the turn (you price in a flush draw, AND pay him your full stack when it hits).

Basically - this sucked on pretty much every street.

I think raising the river is .... ok I guess, but when he calls the turn and leads hard at the river, he prolly has a flush.

Pre-Flop - Fold
Flop - Fine - Nothing Wrong with making it 2k or so here though
Turn - Dislike the min raise - Push if you re-raised Flop, if you flat called I'd bet about pot.
River - The Pot should be over or All-in by now hopefully, but as it played out it was hard to put him on a Flush, I can't decide if I want to try and extract maximum value from an badly played trips/ 2 Pair or minimise the risk of going out here. The blinds are OK, if you call and lose you'll still have 30BB's. If you push and lose you're out, but possibly leaving some value on the table (not too much though really - unless this guy is a donkey to play two pair or trips like this) Hmmmm

1. Fold preflop

2. I hate the minraise on the turn.
