UTG wins $55.47

I hate the turn spot. I don't feel like i'm getting the odds to draw to the flush and the king doesn't change much. It looks like a trips / flush / straight, can we fold here?
On the river, wasn't sure what to think. Really tough spots, appreciate feedback.

His lead on the flop seems weird, but with the outs for the nut flush I can’t fold here

On the turn you have also top pair, but you need good reads to call here that he could bluff sometimes here.

As played the river isn’t ideal, but now I can’t fold. Otherwise you shouldn’t call the turn in the first place.

Cheers,

I guess it is a fold on the turn.
Because villain represents a flush or at leas a set (if he is a reg)

Folding is nut easy, because of having TPTK and NFD, but only one card to deal and when villain has the flush, really bad pot odds

as the player is a 23/16 is hard to pay that big bet OTT, but when saw the showdown it shows that is very tricky, so note and move on

if he donks that kind of hands on one color board, maybe with FD + OC is better to directly shove OTF.

The flop donk is so common nowadays. Nothing special. I like it as played. Make a note on this player.

Call ofc. If You fold that, what is your calling range on the river? Only 1 combo KK? U can fold 6 combos of AK on the river but cant fold the AK with the A♦: ..

GL!

Well Villain's a fish or fishreg, when someone takes a line like this it should be more evidence than small sample of stats can ever give you
I've been always calling these off, but fold on the turn vs a MP open might be okay, it's not easy to put him on many bluffs but people that use these lines will always show up with goofy stuff in their ranges (like he has, after seeing this I'd snap vs the guy next time)

I think the main lesson I got from hands like these at micros is not to waste too much time on analysing them, you shouldn't face this line very often, on reg tables you will sooner or later figure out what the fish is doing and in zoom you've got craploads of much more common spots with big impacts on winrate to improve in, that's been my phylosophy anyways. You face weird confusing stuff, you call the best hands you can have in the spot like the one we called with, fold weaker ones, the more you are confident in reads/population tendencies the more you go towards more or less hands, take a note (if you play reg tables) and move on.

I think his lead on turn is very strong and you should fold that but in that situation fold button usual hide its self.
