Hey guys!
This is my first post, so please don't flame if I do not follow all of the forum rules. :)

Recently I've had a quite interesting hand on NL10. I was playing against a loose fish (stats), who has shoved above pot a couple of times before mentioned hand. In this situation he shoves on the river and I was not sure if I should call or fold.

Table Chittagong (Real Money)

hero will be using their time bank for this hand.

Spoiler

hero is all-In [$14.18 USD]
Player2 shows [ 9d, As ]high card Ace.
hero shows [ 6s, 7s ]a flush, King high.
Player2 wins $1.12 USD from the side pot 1 with high card, Ace.
hero wins $37.76 USD from the main pot with a flush, King high.

Explaination of my approach:
Preflop: 67s seemed reasonable to call 2BB on big blind, because the whole table was 'limp-oriented' except the aggro player on SB which gave me a lot of odds and potential position over the raiser
Flop: Instead of reraising, I decided to call against the aggro player with a position over him and a lot of potential in the hand and with a hope of continous aggro on his side
Turn: Flush comes in, I was preety sure about my hand, however i was anxious about river spade, so I decided to call in position with a potential room for fold on river in case a spade drops. I was thinking about reraising here, but I thought that against such aggresive player it would be way more profitable to let him tripple barell me.
River: I was not expecting such overbet here and was not sure of the call. I was placing my opponent on ace of spades, but was not sure if he had another spade here, too.

At first, I did not know how to react, but now I think that there were only a few hands which had me covered and a bluff (with ace of spades) was definitely in this aggresive player's range, so the call was reasonable.
I'm posting here, because I am not sure if at those micro stakes I should play safe and wait for more obvious situations or follow my reads and HUD from time to time.

I'm really looking forward to reading your opinions.
GL & HF!

Hello and welcome =)
The hand in that kind of format is a pain to read, please learn to use the hand converter to make it more easier and fancy for everyone next time, like other hands are posted.

Nothing much to say about the hand, pretty standard, nh.

This looks quite standard. Does villain overbet OTF? Maybe we could consider folding with baby flush draw there but overall well played imo.

What tracking software you use?You can usually copy the hand from the tracking software in a format that looks nice on the forum so you don't have to use a converter. Guide HERE

I don´t find this one hard. Calling preflop is reasonable and I agree with that. Flop is quite bad, giving us wrong odds imo. As played I would call T also, for reasons you provided. River is call for sure. You said he is shoving a lot, he is a fish. You have almost the nuts. Only what beats you are higher spades. On the other hand villain has a lot more in his range imo.
