Two action-killing rivers

The longer you've stayed with a hand, the harder it is to lay down. The most painful time to lay down a hand is when the river card is face up. Circumstances may require it, however. One such circumstance is when the river puts four cards to a flush on the board, and you didn't hit a flush. More likely than not, someone else did. That's what you call an action killer. Last night, I was on both sides of that situation. On one hand, I didn't have the flush and had to fold. On another, I'd made my flush on the turn and knew it was highly unlikely my opponent would call my river bet. He didn't. The good news is I made the money anyway.
