When you just called on the river rather than betting....

Were you hoping jackieLeeR was going to overcall/raise on the river after a bet and a call?

Did you put your opponents on "Play any two suited"??
I have no idea about villians since this was a LOOOONG time ago

On the river, I figured with the flush card, I'm either going to lose one bet (calling and running into the flush) or losing 3 bets by raising and getting 3-bet when I'm forced to call. Also his river donk made me think flush.

My original intent of this post was to highlight an example of being aggressive in a big pot. It was only with ScottyZ's responses that made me believe that calling is pretty good here too.

The LL weak-tighties will generally fold for just one bet (as you said, often with utter disregard to the size of the pot). The LL calling stations will generally call regardless of whether you raised or not. (I've been thinking a lot lately in terms of "Know thine enemy", and I think the vast majority of non-expert LLHE players can be put into one of these two boxes.)
This is a really great point that I missed 2 1/2 years ago :-).. People who want to fold will likely fold to one bet, and people that want to call will likely call any number of bets. Figure out who's who and profit.

I'd say this applies more to B&M than online anymore..

This is similar to what I was saying to Moose in the tread about check/raise for a free card on the turn. (Well buying a card on the turn.)

What do you think of doing that on the flop? Raising the bettor on the flop and then go from there?

It's party 1/2. These guys even dont notice when a 1% VPIP / 0% PFR /over 200 hands raises..

I think this hand is a pretty good example of Miller's SSH advice.

This is 100% true and still true up to 5/10 in my opinion. I'm very aware of the dude who hasn't preflop raised in 200 hands all of a sudden raises or re raises.
