This is my 1st hand in the tourney (reg'd 2 minutes late) so no reads. His call on the flop, bet on the turn and shove on the river were each faster than the previous play. Is this how he's playing a flush draw? A set? Two pair? Air? Very confusing and just not sure what to think.
So, what would you do?

If he was on a flush draw, what was it that he called you on the flop and bet the turn with.. Then he pushes the river? I don't think so, more importantly, with your line what do you think he put you on? A King? I think he has 2 pair or a set. You have to call and move on if he has the flush... My thinking anyways...

I second Comp's thoughts. if he chased down the obvious flush why insta shove just to not be called? The only reason he might take this line is if he was trying to disguise his bet as a bluff to entice a two pair or set to call but he hasn't played with you long either and has no reads so this kind of play wouldn't make sense. If he caught the flush he should have bet a callable amount to get value. Therefore, my read is he has something like second pair and is trying to push you off a possible K with his bluff. I make the call.

Also you don't have odds to call on turn. Never mind the double suited board. That means 1/2 the deck you don't like on river - before you called the turn you should have already known what you were going to do on river so there so should have been no decision to make on river card. This hand is full of fail.

I don't think you're asking the right questions.

open is horrible for exactly the reason your asking what to do on the river. Early on you cant put your opponents on hands as you have no reads and this could just be some donk who shoves with a wide range of hands. Really unless we flop the nuts we arent gonna feel great about playing a big pot with q10os. just my opinion anyways

When the money is gone, its time to move on!!
i have a matrix im experimenting with for overbet shoves on the river.
If the players opr is high and your range to him should seem like you will fold then its likely a bluff
If the players opr is high and your range to him should seem you will call then its a value bet
If the players opr is low and your range seems like you will fold then its a value bet
If the players opr is low and your range seems like you will call then its a bluff.....
but nonetheless your very likely way to wide pre from all positions and your continuation bet frequency vs certain boards. when you tighten up alot, continuation betting gets fun and easy.
i feel like rich read the hand history wrong.......

Thank you all for the excellent information/advice. I really felt like I played this terribly. At least my read on myself was right.
I don`t have the rest of the hand history on me, but I thought about it for about 20 seconds and decided his shove made no sense at all and the most he had was two pair and called. He had 1010 and I busted him out.
While I'm glad with the result, I'm more interested in not getting myself into that situation in the first place so that page is being removed from the playbook
