I'm more worried about AK than the flush OTR. We should definetely call the river though, his Kx hands could be raising you and hoping to get value from a set or two pair.

This is just bad advice
I suspect villian will reraise ak a fair amount preflop. So his ak holdings are less likely. I also think villian folds ak some on turn. So his chance of having ak is not super likely imo.

I think you played the hand really well except for the call on the river. I would never call river. The Jc is literally one of the worst card in the deck for our hand on river. So when the J of clubs hits we have to re-evaluate our situation. Many people would opt to check the riv and call a bet which i think is great. but I think betting the river is better as we can still get called by a lot worse. When we get reraised we have no play but to fold. We are repping a str8 at worst and our opponent is claiming to have a better hand than that. Not to mention if our opponent had a str8 too he should be a little concerned with the flush and tend to just call. So def fold on riv

Don't post results.
I know it's a small sample but relatively reggish stats, BVB he's def 3betting AK.
Think Xing the river is a mistake cos it allows him to Xback any 2p and set kinda hands that you can get value from. Half-2/3 pot and fold to a raise otr imo. You've shown aggression on three streets and he's still raising, on this board.
It's never nice but gotta lay it down.
Make a note that he floats flops IP wide too, as I think that call is pretty poor on his part.

You played it fine and you can call river vs some villains, but bet/fold against most who would never do this with a worse hand.

Cooler.
But I would bet larger on turn.

Mostly this.

I also don't mind check-calling the riv against draw heavy opponents.

I feel like lots of people at the micros draw for flushes of any kind, especially in position.

If you check-call, it allows him to open his bluff-range. It also gives you more versatility in the meta game.
