DeucesCracked Poker Videos Hand History Converter

Hero (BTN/SB): t1087168 M = 21.32
BB: t918332 M = 18.01

Pre Flop: (t51000) Hero is BTN/SB with K of hearts 4 of hearts
Hero calls t15000, BB checks

Flop: (t66000) K of clubs 6 of clubs 3 of diamonds (2 players)
BB bets t60000, Hero calls t60000

Turn: (t186000) Q of diamonds (2 players)
BB bets t30000, Hero calls t30000

River: (t246000) 4 of diamonds (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets t105000, BB raises to t795332 all in,

anyway, the oppent is a fish and has been really passive after the flop so far.
so i could be agressive postflop and take down a lot of pots.
however, i had one hand with him where he 3 barrel bluffed with 3 flush cards on the flop with absolute air ( i had flopped the flush and called him down)

now to the hand:
I have been limping mostly to keep the pot small and controll the sizing afterwards.
on the flop the buy donks almost pot, which he had never done before,
normally he would check and I just cbet here.
but with top pair in heads up of course that is a call.
he could have a flush draw, a set or simply a hit.
now on the turn he slows down and only bets 30k into 186k.
i do not see a reason for raising here since i have a very decent hand and dont
want to fold the hand if he shoves over me so I just call (also my kicker of course it not the best)

now he checks on the river where i even hit 2 pair. he could very easily have missed the flush here, or just have a pair of 6s or 3s. so i want to make a thin value bet here I bet 105 and now he pushes all in ?

what do you think what the best move is

I would normal always raise pre-flop, because than you have the initiative during the hand and you can win the pot right away. The rest seems pretty standard until the river. Not sure if he would pot size bet the flop with a backdoor draw and straight isn't likely either I think. Missed flush draw is the most likely one or 2 pair maybe. I expect he would play a set on turn more agressive here. So I would call here against him.
