Preflop: Default open from the CO. BTN plays 33/17 in 6 hands, so not much to say about him.
Flop: On A-high flop with backdoors I think it's fine to cbet as a bluff.
Turn: I hit a flushdraw and a gutshot, so I decided to cbet again. I choose this size because I don't expect much fold equity, so will lose smaller when he calls. That way I control the size of the pot, in comparison with check/calling, which is another option I could do there, and I keep initiative which would be especially be improtant in case I hit the river. I don't like check/raising there with a decent draw, but not a monster draw.
River: I hit a flush and betting for value now. The size should probably be a bit bigger because unknown is still calling with Ax and I don't expect raises from worse (straights, sets and two pairs are probably raising the turn). And then he check/raised. Since I don't really see worse hands doing that on the river, I think folding is the best option. I believe that A-high or K-high flush is his most probable holding. Might be that I induced a raise with the sizing, but I don't expect an unknown to bluff raise river alot (or maybe at all). What do you think?
