Today I Noeledge grinded 3 tables of 200NL while the crew sweated. It was standard for the most part. Lets get to the action.
Hand 1: Villain is 32/24/3.6-453 sample

Button ($74.80)SB ($327.12)BB ($474.80)UTG ($185)Hero ($225.80)CO ($440.05)
Preflop: Hero is MP with Qh, Qc. 1 fold, Hero raises to $8, 3 folds, BB calls $6.
Flop: ($17) 6d, 8h, Kh (2 players)BB checks, Hero bets $12, BB raises to $40, Hero calls $28.
I had a sick feeling villain was going to check raise this board and almost checked. The crew felt it was a bet and I believe it was. Villain does what i felt would happen and calling is a must. Yes he could have better but this can be a draw as well or a move.
Turn: ($97) 2c (2 players)BB checks, Hero checks.
he checks we check as there is no reason to bet.
River: ($97) 8s (2 players)BB bets $194, Hero folds.
The river is interesting as villain sizes out an overbet shove. These are spots where I think those of us grinding 200NL and below might be tempted to make an amazing hero call, DONT! If he turns a busted FD into a huge bluff more power to him we will catch him soon enough. It is much more likely he holds a monster.
Final Pot: $291
Results below: BB doesn't show. Outcome: BB wins $291.

Analysis makes sense...but about the flop call...I understand why you call this, but are you assuming that if it's a draw or a play that by you calling, you are getting to SD cheaply if he doesn't have at least a K?
How bad is a bet (a little bigger than half pot) on the turn in that case, almost like a blocker, because it allows you to check the river behind while getting value from a flush draw.
I too often make the hero call you avoided when I take your line because I feel like I'm just asking him to make a river bet. You've played the hand somewhat passively, as if you might have a flush draw yourself, and yet he overbet/shoves? Seems like he would normally make a smaller bet for value or even to induce (in his mind) a bluff-raise by you.
What size bet (if any) do you call on the river?
