You can't play it any softer than that.No worries.We are only afraid of J7 or QJ.And Villain may think it is unlikely we have a straight since our preflop raise from UTG does not suggest we have the necessary cards to make one.In that case, it is possible he is capping with a lesser hand (2pair?)That possibility may be thin.And the Flush card just hit the river.So no reason to push any more.You probably played it the only reasonable way.--CM
