Thanks for the feedback. Hero had 7

. I'm still learning the nuances of deep stack poker so I was wondering what Vs thinking might be in that spot.
V's preflop raise meant a strong hand which I could crush 3 handed with suited connectors. V's flop bet was small enough for me to think I could rep an A if he had KK, QQ, or JJ. His bet on the turn meant he had the A and hitting the flush draw on the turn gave me the option to semi-bluff raise to $100, which I think may be the best play with the threat of a $200 river bet. Instead I called because I thought I could get paid off on the river if I hit my flush, 7, or 6, which should have made me think the bluff raise wouldn't work. After V bet $25 on the river, it was an invitation to bluff raise and I thought he would have tossed an AK, although he could have had AA and AJ as well.
It's good news to be winning enough to play deep stack, but the lessons are expensive.
