vs 26/8 close to no samplesize. how would you play this?

Flop raise is probably good. Villain has enough pairs that you wouldn't mind folding (55-77, 99, etc) and J high has little showdown value on its own.

As played I'm not sure I'd raise his turn donk. Stats suggest he's pretty passive and a flush coming in usually causes most players to shut down especially after the line you took on the flop. Probably c turn/decide river. Probably calling most non-spade or board pairing rivers if he bets small again.

It's fine/good and probably ul. We're toast when he min 3b's the turn but **** him it's 70BB's and we have a flush, we aren't folding.

9 spades for the win? prob folding though to be real.

I'd flat the turn reraise. I'm obv not planning on folding yet but far from thrilled to get it in vs a standard range and against this villain i wouldn't want to fold out any silliness he might have. The value hands we beat should still go broke on most rivers.

Hand seems wp up to there. Would def raise the turn donk, seems like burning money if we don't.

id prolly just call otf w/ fd + 2 overs and continue calling w/o reads

in your spot ott again w/o reads i'm prolly not folding but not exactly great

Flop + turn raise are both fine. Think I fold to the 3b I mean when is this never a monster? I probably only continue with A/maybe K high flushes and bettter.

The best line in a vacuum is probably raise flop, call turn, call river if he bets a normal size, consider a small raise if he leads small again. When you raise turn your range gets polarized to 44, overpairs, flushes, and A8s. But more importantly, the only worse hands he can call with are an 8 or worse flushes. And he doesn't have a whole lot of 8 combos. This raise doesn't accomplish anything besides "protecting" your J high flush (and only 2 outs beat you) which you should never do.

nh! Obviously not thrilled about the turn 3bet, but since we have no reads except that hes fishy, he could be overplaying a worse hand or spazzing out. Since he likely has almost no Air in his range we either want to fold (if he is never overplaying worse) or ship (to prevent him from folding such worse hands on a scarecard) on the turn.

raising turn is mandatory to get value from his "tricky" 8x and the occasional lower flushes. (close to no sample size means he could be looser than 26/8).

He obviously never has a boat on the flop, so we are only worried about better flushes, 77 and 87s.

Per usual +1
