Villain has basically no hands.

Preflop?

Flop line? Bet/call? Bet/raise for semi-bluff value? Check/raise? Check/call?

Standard pot odds call on turn?

Shoving scary river, probably not going to get many calls but he'd been even more likely to check behind. Is it worth telling him "royal flush" while he tanks, because it makes me look like I'm FOS given how unlikely it is?

Oh yeah, I guess this post is sort of a brag too, I'm had (4? possibly 5) royals despite only playing around 100k hands in my life so far

Looks fine. Was thinking about shoving the turn, but think thats bad cause he's not folding and youre not getting much EV against his range

Tank and shove.
royals are great except its hard to get paid unless someone has a worse flush or a fh.

reraise flop.

since you ddint reraise flop c/r turn atleast

on the river your hand basically is face up as a draw, so you wont rly get paid

Am I really folding anything out reraising the flop? Looks very much like AA/KK/AK, none of which are going anywhere. Maybe it's rarely AQ, or A4s that might be laid down by a nit.

Its a minraise, god knows what the **** he can have, people spazz out with all kinds of garbage when someone donks into them

I don't like reraising flop. Yes, we are slightly ahead, but we really have no FE. I'd rather just charge him a bunch when we hit on turn/river, and fold after we don't.

Rest looks fine. I don't like PF call, but that's really personal preference.

yah pf is meh, but not awful

if you had better reads I would say reraise the flop to $15, let him know to get the **** out of the pot without ak or better.

As played I think this is fine, but your hand is pretty transparent. As in, you check call a drawy board twice, then donk a scare card river. Your range is pretty polarized to nuts/air imo, and Im not quite sure how to fix that tbh. Maybe just fold the turn? Im not sure. Would be interested to hear what others have to say.

Hmm not sure about the turn. Purely on pot odds it's basically indifferent, but maybe I actually have reverse implied odds for the river. If the river is 4 or 6, I'm losing to AA/KK with a high chance of not getting paid off by AK, and if it's another heart or a ten (or both, as it is here) I have a pretty low chance of getting paid off.

But then again, can't overrate the donk factor for getting implied odds. Almost every fishy villain will be snap-calling AA here. Most of the "good" villains are probably folding to the "obvious" flush. Only a very small number (probably too small to factor in) would overthink this and believe I'm making a sophisticated bluff on a scare card after playing it as I did, so it probably doesn't matter if I tank or if I tell them my hand.
