small flush 175bb deep

    Default small flush 175bb deep

    Villain here was playing 26/21/2.4 over 77 hands, 8%3bet fwiw. I hadn't really been in pots with him and have not seen any showdowns of him either that I remember.
    I'm very uncomfortable playing deeper, which left me with some questions.

    First of all the flop raise. I hadn't seen him make any donk bets before although his stats said 1 out of 4, so he is at least capable of doing it with something. I'm also not sure villain is comfortable playing deeper stacks so he could be doing weird stuff, which are quite standard at these stakes.
    Afterwards I think I'm better of calling his donk bet.

    Seeing I raised it and got called, I was pretty lost in the turn. My perceived range of him was sets and flushes, possibly 2 pair. Seeing villains doesn't call that much preflop I figured he doesn't have that many flushes...but all the middle ones are fair.

    My feeling is I misplayed this hand pretty badly, so any advice on both lines and betsizing are very welcome.

    Looks good although I probably raise flop a bit larger.

    I agree. I don't think you butchered this hand at all. A better flush is a cooler.

    Played it fine, only debatable thing is calling river....I think you see a higher flush a high % of the time here. Especially deepstacked.

    Ok thanks. I'm with Toadstool about the turn call being close, but I guess stacks aren't deep enough to lay it down.

    I typed him "nh" before calling and villain typed me "nice call" before showing his 76

    I don't think I've ever laid down a flush (on nonpaired boards) unless it was like 4-high or with 4 on the board.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.
