Villain is unknown but in small sample high vpip/pfr, and we are quite deep both.

Pre : i think you can of course call but since OOP I want initiative and build a pot.
OTF: not particularly sure about my sizing. It's not a wet board but you have to charge for the FD. Would you go 1/3 or 3/4?
OTT: here is what I'm fully unsure. I think my sizing and calling is definitely the worst option.

- Do you better check call reasonable bet?
- Do you bet smaller 1/3ish and reconsider in case of a raise?

Because I think I'm turning my hand to more of a semi-bluff here. And on the 3bet you know you are beat but due to my betting the pot odds are crazy (11%). Not a big fun of checking though because you give him a free card to a 4card flush draw.

Can villain not play his overpairs the same way? Particularly if he is a fish? There shouldnt be too many 8x in a 4-bet calling range same with 22, I think villain has more combos of overpairs with a club or broadways that hit the flush on the turn than anything else. If villain woukd play his QQ,JJ,TT with a club in the same manner I think you make reasonable play. Maybe every once in a while if hes a mega fish he jams with the NFD ;AQo,AKo

Your 4bet sizing is a little bit low. Especially out of position and so deep I would make it at least 3x for value against a unknown.

With this sizing it's easier to get it in on the turn as well. Now you have a little bit more than a pot size bet left. I would bet around 1/3 pot and her-evaluate on further action, but with the flush blocker it's tough to get away. Especially now with the committing bet.
