    No, but when donks see a flush out they consider anything < a flush to be a hand they don't like that much (AW GAWDAMNIT THE FUCKING FLUSH HITS EVERY GOD DAMN FUCKIN TIME). So when they c/minr on a flush completing turn and bet the river, they have the flush or a bluff, generally. If he has a worse aces up I think he doesn't c/r the turn.

    I'd say passive fish often play and think like you describe. Loose aggro donkeys who want to see a lot of flops and then splash some moneys aren't always scared of flushes.

    Even if we assume that you are correct here then I still don't hate a call, esp with the blocker. His line is just a bit too fancy for me to give him credit for a flush. Double c/r and big river lead. Jesus.

    I also think his flop c/r is a bit small for an unpaired hand.

    We know he likes to bluff and we need to be good 30%. I really couldn't find a fold here.
