Bet more on flop. Call his raise instead of re raising, especially min raising sucks. Turn all depends on player, but to me this line looks like he has to has a flush. Assume he has a flush and do your own math.

littleogre has a little shameless behaviour in the past
 Unless the villain is very laggy the turn was spew. Imho you didn't bet enough on the flop when you are likely infront. Then on the turn when you are likely behind a flush you went crazy and spazed out.

So as played, fold to raise on turn. 7 outs to the nut flush would be great if stacks were deep for implied odds, but they aren't. So 3/4 the pot isn't Enough to give him wrong odds to draw on flop? Also why are we just calling the flop raise?

 i can play the flop better.
What is with your bet-sizing?

You turned the nut flush draw, but you have one pair vs significant resistance. I don't understand your play. Explain it.
don't raise with the straight flush bro, nobody ever gonna call that shit
allin, reload, repeat

I reckon he's got KQ and we just sucked out with a beautiful river.

Yeah, I'd call his flop raise, c/call the turn, c/call the riv.

This is a hand with same villain that happened about 20 minutes before the hand i played above. Apparently i didn't take any notes. Again, this was a week ago or so, so I forget what I was thinking for the all in on the turn. I believe I had labeled the guy as a donkey and thought i had his king beat, and didn't put him on any kind of flush at all, because he raised flop and turn.

Knowing they would always beat ur AA best move fold AA against this villain ...

I agree with others bet more of flop to make -EV for flush draw. When turn hit .. Tuff spot .. Really have to make best guess from full history with villian

I'm pretty much in agreement with others, make flush draw opportunity pay more to see it on flop... while you did get it in, it was too late to make it worth it. I'd say he has KJspades.
