Preflop standard 3bet, on flop with position I check-back. On turn I call bet with two over cards and flush draw. On river I catch flush so how much I should bet here I think 1/3 pot in this hand. Opponent sometimes open limps and weird sizing he raise (for example when somebody open for 3bb preflop he re-raise to 5bbb).

I would c-bet the flop, you're ahead very often and want to protect your hand.
As played, I link Turn and River

I like the small bet that can easily be called by worse.
With the board paired, would you fold to a check/shove by opponent?

Yes I fold vs check-raise all in on river because more players nitty, slowplay than aggressive so I don't think he bluff here

Result below

Spoiler

Showdown:
BU (Hero) shows A♥ K♣ (a flush, Ace high)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 30%, Flop: 18%, Turn: 25%, River: 0%)

MP shows K♦ K♠ (a full house, Kings full of Fours)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 70%, Flop: 82%, Turn: 75%, River: 100%)

MP wins $1.59

Nitty is quite the word for it! Why would opponent just flat call the nut full house? Was he afraid you had Quads?

Maybe, he has just call 3bet without position kings preflop and check-call river. I see in another hand and another player no go all in on river with nut straight flush (just call re-raise in position)!

I would most likely bet the river around 50c for value with the flush. Not sure why villain just called the river with KK.

Because this is NL2? :f_biggrin:

I would have c-betted the flop though on this paired board, you will get a lot of hands to fold with just your A-high and if they call, you still have good outs to actually make a hand.

I actually don't mind a check on the flop IP. Players are sticky in 3bp with pp and especially on paired flops.
But I also don't mind a bet, you are ahead of all villains broadways. On the flop if I take out all of villains pp and some off suit hands I come up with this:

QTs+, JTs, AdQd, AsQs, AcQc, KdQd, KhQh, KsQs, AdJd, AsJs, AcJc, KdJd, KhJh, KsJs, AdTd, AsTs, AcTc, KdTd, KhTh, KsTs, AdQh, AdQs, AdQc, AsQd, AsQh, AsQc, AcQd, AcQh, AcQs, AdJh, AdJs, AdJc, AsJd, AsJh, AsJc, AcJd, AcJh, AcJs, AdTh, AdTs, AdTc, AsTd, AsTh, AsTc, AcTd, AcTh, AcTs, KdQh, KdQs, KdQc, KhQd, KhQs, KhQc, KsQd, KsQh, KsQc

You 78% against this and are blocking villain from having the NFD.

Villain is so nitty, not even a click back :appl: :profit:
