I did not realize it at the time, not even the minraise gave it away, but villain was probably a whale (71/29 over 7 hands). I don't know if I like my play still but I was involved in some other pots and I basically made it readless, without thinking about it.

I like raising here because I'm about even against draws and at the same time if a club comes, I'm going to represent it. I think I'm going to barrel almost any turn card, except for when the board pairs. Of course I'm also happy to take it down.

I don't like to turn my hand into a bluff here and opt to x/c.

The river is obviously the perfect card for me and I x/r allin to get max value from flushes and in this case apparently: straights.

Is this a profitable play on the flop and turn? It seems to me like it is. And is x/r the river the most profitable play? Although I probably don't get value from a J, and maybe even not from thinking man's low flushes, I also think it is. Against this player it's probably a no-brainer though.
