Dealt to Hero 2♦ 8♦

fold, Hero raises to $2.50, SB calls $2, fold

FLOP ($6) 9♦ T♦ A♦

SB checks, Hero bets $5, SB raises to $19, Hero calls $14

TURN ($44) 9♦ T♦ A♦ A♠

SB bets $29, Hero calls $29

RIVER ($102) 9♦ T♦ A♦ A♠ 7♠

SB checks, Hero checks

Villain is 20/15/2 (VPIP/PFR/AF). He doesn't resteal often from SB (4%) and calls 4% also.

My thougts on the flop were that he either has a flush or a set and pretty much any flush he can have beats me. I guess there are few flush combos though. However, I figured that when I 3b I wouldn't be getting my money in as a huge favourite, so I could wait for a safe turn to stack off, + I keep bluffs in his range. Can I play it like that?

As played, do we ship river?

I like it.

It's very hard for him to call a 3bet with Ax on the flop, but he could very well be checkraising it for value.

On the turn i think i'd call, too.
100BB deep i'm more inclined to ship it in, but with these stacksizes you have left almost two times the pot and i think he folds Ax too often to make it a profitable raise.
Furthermore as you said there are 3 better flushes in his range vs which you valuetown yourself while there are two worse flushes at max - 76 and 65, but he folds these preflop sometimes.

At the river i think i'd bet.
The better flushes in his range are QJ, KJ, KQ - and that's it.
So you can get value vs 2 possibloe worse flushes and tons of Ax hands which c/c the river to catch your busted FDs.
You could make it like $59 or shove, in the end it's a leveling war although i think vs his range a shove is a bit better because you maximize your value vs Ax - he would've bet a full house most likely himself because you have a lot more flushcombos in your range than he has in his.

Btw. was the BB a very bad player? Otherwise i'd consider folding preflop, 82s is too weak because it never hits and has terrible playability even if it does hit a pair (but even with 2pair you always have bottom2).
