agree with that. but he should also realize that his line looks bluffy; generally solid players don´t bluff with a fishy line against someone they consider to be a fish...
i didn´t want to post it, because it´s generally bad poker to think that way, but even if he did slowplay the nutflush, it would have cost you about the same amount compared to a normal line from him, probably less.
that should not be the reason to call him though; imo the main reason is to avoid getting exploited by a villain who is surely capable of exploiting passiveness/scared money. if we fold in this spot, we basically will fold everything and shouldn´t be betting then in the first place, but c/behind. this is incredibly weak imo. he knows you basically never have the nuts due to your turn c/behind. if you always fold in spots like that, you will not be able to valuebet rivers somewhat thinly and give him a very easy bluff in such spots.
villain doesnt seem to be someone to be too afraid of though; berating the "fish" for not valuebetting thinly enough in chat during a HU match is probably not all that common in top sharks
edit: his chat comment could easily mean though that since you are not valuebetting enough, and probably never have the nuts, you could easily just be bluffing in this spot, but bluffing with the best hand since he might have missed that board completely. thinking that, he might assume that you fold everything but the nuts anyway and he could get away with a good %raise otr with his total misses like AKQ9 and similar hands w/out SDV. that´s what is going on here most of the time imo.
so many reasons to call and not really much to fold. i am a callingstation though...
