Results:
I realise I only have a microscopic sample on BU but he has played 3 out of 6 hands without ever raising so I suspect he is a fish.
Preflop: I hate myself for such a fishy line in calling OOP but raising seems pointless (I don't expect to take this down preflop, so why bloat the pot with a bad position?) and pot odds ftw.
Flop: I think donking out is a bit more convincing than x/r (donk looks like I'm protecting a top pair, but x/r doesn't rep much imo because a strong hand would not risk a check behind on such a drawy board). Sizing could have been slightly bigger though. Getting minraised sucks but I think I can call for these odds.
Turn: hit the nuts, bet for value.
River: paired board sucks slightly. He has some kind of hand after raising the flop and calling the turn. I opted for check/call thinking that he was very polarised (either a set that just filled up, or a missed flush draw). I think that was the wrong choice and I was far too cautious about the possibility of FH; given that he seems a bit fishy / passive I should bet/fold the river to get more value from his showdown value hands (Qx and whatnot).
