is it legit to peel on this flop? I have alot of twopair outs which should be good most of the time.
On the river I decided to turn my hand into a bluff as he may only call with the nutflush.
Does my line make any sense?

Curious as to why you make your two pair but just call turn? You are ahead almost always.

As played, I think I like it. You may not be bluffing...

I 3bet pre and I wouldn't raise turn.

Which hands are you trying to make him fold on the river? Do you think he's betting sets there? Do you think he's bet/folding low flushes? I don't see him bet/folding any better hand here, apart from exactly 54xx, possibly.

Would you call cause he may be bluffing? What range do you put him on?
Do you see him b/c low flushes?

You need to recognise spots where villain is gonna get to the river with a lot of weak hands. This is one of them. I think his range for betting this river is really polarized, i.e. {flushes;possibly 54xx;bluffs}. I can see a ton of weak 1pair/1pair+draw hands in there that decided to barrel the turn and then barrel this river.

IYAM calling yields a better result than raising against this polarized bluff-heavy range. Unless you expect to get him off low flushes, but that seems like a bit of a stretch to me. Both of you have a lot of hands with weak showdown value in your ranges, and if he knows this and acknowledges that you know this as well, bet/folding a flush on the river would be pretty atrocious.

FWIW I don't think bluffraising would be a bad move here against a great deal of villains, I'm just saying that I prefer calling in this particular spot when we have enough SD value. We're beating all his bluffs.
