How did I play, should I of folded on the river?
Interesting hand, definitely alot to be learned from this hand.
I probably would have played it the same, but now that you look back at it, you can see where you went wrong. Not an easy hand to play or read, but if you really focus and concentrate on the hand, you obviously see that the button is also drawing to a hand as well. You have to push him out somewhere by reraising the flop or betting out on the turn.
I like reraising on the flop, trying to get the reraiser to put all his money in, the button should fold here, and you call as the favorite against a hand like AJ (63% fav to be exact).
On the turn, (seeing that the one off button has a strong hand and has reraised you on the flop) I would have bet out again on the turn (try $15-$20) trying to get a reraise by the original reraiser, and unlikely, but
maybe get the button to fold seeing to much action in front of him.
Not a bad play though. On the river, very tough laydown, but you got to be disciplined enough to know your beat, even with the 3rd nuts, bite your tongue and throw away the Q high flush. The button all of a sudden waking up has got to be a little scary...
