Villian is 30/25 and is overall aggro. His UTG range is >15% so I think I can add tons of suited connectors but I also think I can add tons of AXs. Idon't think there is value in shoving the river since there's no worse suited connector, maybe 35s is the only one gapper I beat

Another question is whether raising the flop is the better play (this question might be results oriented). I can't be too sure if I can get more streets of value from bluffs or even KK/AA/AQ type of hands but perhaps I could have stacked his sets

Once again, not much history, his WTSD is 38% which makes me think he is the type of guy who likes to stack off light (maybe I can stack off vs AsX as well if i raise?)

You should definatly go for value, its just really rare that two player flop flushes. If his aggro I would go for raise flop, he will shove worse hands.

Yeah, flatting this Flop sometimes is fine for the sake of balancing+getting value from bluffs, but I'd raise there more often than not - I gotta balance my bluffs too, somehow

The River is a shove for me, there aren't that many flushes in his range and your line looks kinda weird.

Traurig was du für eine abgewrackte Gestalt bist. Es ist erschreckend zu sehen wie ekeleregend so Gestalten wie du unsere Gesellschaft bilden.

You don't have A ♠, hence You don't know if u can represent a draw. I think raising flop is best option here, because it also allows You to play this line with A ♠ and pure bluffs. As played flop, I'd definitely raise turn.

As noted before, one needs to balance bluffs with value bets. Had You A-high flush, then repping a drawing hand could be a more valuable option. Here, You definitely need to go for value.
