I CR the river here because of the third diamond that came. I correctly assumed that at least one of my opponents made his flush. In this hand CR worked perfectly, but I'm wondering was this the right play. Should i bet right away because i would got raised for sure and i would be able to re-raise again?

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.1/$0.2 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (7 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6:s, 4:c.
MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, 2 folds, SB calls, Hero checks.

Flop: (5 SB) 8:s, 6:d, 4:d (5 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, SB folds.

Turn: (4.5 BB) 4:s (4 players)
Hero bets, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 folds.

River: (7.5 BB) K:d (3 players)
Hero checks, MP1 bets, MP2 raises, Hero 3-Bets, MP1 caps, MP2 calls, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 19.5 BB.
Results follow:

Hero shows a full-house, fours full of sixs(6:s 4:c).
MP2 shows a flush, king high(Q:d 5:d).
MP1 shows a flush, ace high(3:d A:d).

Hero wins with a full-house, fours full of sixs(6:s 4:c).

Hello!

I would rather go for the standard bet/3-bet on the river since this way you get more value (3BB) compared to a c/r (2BB) if he for some reason only decides to bet or raise once (for example if he had a low flush, that would be possible). I can surely say that if the oponnent is passive/stupid enough to not raise you on the river with a flush, he won't bet either. If he holds a nut flush you'll get a cap on that river in any case, but I still prefer the bet/3-bet.

I can easily see some loose-bads checking behind this river with an 8.

Definitely agree with Primzi.

Thanks guys... i guess i lost a lot of value by slowplaying and attempting to CR my strong hands in the past. When you are a beginner CR and slowplay looks so sophisticated strategy to earn some additional value.
