		Ok. Don't have the hand number so i'll explain. Was playing 10 handed cash game for blinds 25c/50c, and us 3 players involved all had roughly $50. I raised in an early position $2 with Ah Kc and got two callers. Flop 8h Jh 4h. I check, player 2 raises $7 which is $1 dollar more than $6 pot so i think he doesnt have flush and wants to take it down right there with either a J or a set or a semi bluff with 1 heart. Player 3 folds, and i call looking for a heart for the nut flush. The turn brings 6h making my A flush so i check, reasoning that if i bet, he folds, but checking might draw a value bet from him with his top pair/set/bluff. There's also the chance he has a heart and made a smaller flush. He checks behind me. River brings a second 4. Now we both have $9 in the $20 pot and $41 left. I know if he has a set he's beating me now, but put in a blocking bet of $10 to avoid getting bluffed off it. He now moves all in, making the pot $71 with my stack at $31 giving me 2.3 to 1 odds to make the call. I was quite sure i was beat, but there was always the possibility he had a K flush or 2 pair and was representing a house due to my check on the turn and relivitely low bet on the river. Thats the sort of move i would have made, so i decided the pot odds were good enough to justify calling. What would you guys have done, or how would you have played it differently?

		Is a block bet a block bet when you dont use it as a block bet?

		I used it to block him from bluffing ratty. How would you have played it?
