Guy is a pretty good player and likes stealing some if he gets the chance. This was a pretty tight table.
I'll say my thought process after I get some responses. It was in a $150/12 super on party.. I am out soon after on a draw where I should
have won the pot. I closed the window so no HH for that one.

What are some of the possible holding you put him on? You're losing to a large number of hands here. Unfortunately for you, you hit your ace so you kinda have to pay him off on the river.

Were you checking the turn to induce a bluff on the river? If so then you have to call the river. I like betting out the turn more because the board has 3 clubs and you just want to take down the pot in case he has a club.

Maybe I'm missing something, but if the button is Seat 1, your sitting in Seat 7 and the guy is sitting in Seat 10, how does he get to act before you?

Past that, if you were acting last then I'd agree with trying to steal it after the guy checks it to you and checking it on the turn when the made flush materializes. On the river I'd be 50/50 as to whether I'd call or not. With your read on him I'd probably end up making the call too if I though he was trying to steal it. But with the size of your stack compared to the rest of the table it's just as likely I would have folded too. No doubt this is a tough one.

He was the big blind. I checkd the turn so I wouldn't be check raised and I figured he'd bet small on the river because the ace and the club would be a scare card to a hand like JJ -KK, so I could lose the least amount of chips. Well it turns out that he had the flush and didn't bet as small as I wanted him to bet. So I probablly should have bet maybe 700 or so on the turn and see where I was in the hand. I thought he could have any two really but most likely just a pair of tens with a hand like Jt, qt, kt. I also thought he could have had the five with a small suited connector or a big kicker behind the five. I was way off and lost a lot on a hand I could have folded.

I like the Preflop raise and the continuation bet on the flop, but a call on the flop from one of the two stacks that will send me to the rail slows me way down. The check-check on the turn allows me to see the river cheap, but I fold to the big river bet from the chip leader.

Maybe that's too passive, but there are a lot of hands that beat TP J K.

I agree with bob here. You played A-J and you hit your Ace. What were you hoping to hit pre-flop?

A bet on the turn could take the pot down immediately or at the least let you know where you stand in the hand. If you are called, he probably has a better Ace or trips. If you are check-raised, he probably has the made flush.

Protect your hand. Bet the turn. It could have saved you money on the river.
