villain is unknowed

when facing x/r on the flop i decided to call i dont block any of his FD.

facing another bet on turn on a Q which is a very bad card for my range im not sur if i should justgive up. i dont think that villain will be x/r flop then leading on turn with air or semi bluff at that point. still decided to call with position and reevaluate river

facing river bet when flush hits its an easy fold but since a lot of card on river will be very bad for me i should maybe just think about folding turn right?

Thats definetely not close enough to consider folding AK with flushdraw blockers.

I think its very tough spot. I think call turn looks still fine against sizing, but its only because i think that he's fish (based on SB cold call and his weird sizing OTT) and might do some polarization mistakes on the turn, for example bet merged similar hand strenght to yours.

When the heart comes OTR and he bets again tho, i dont know. It almost feels stupid to call this turn to fold river against size, but i think that heart completing matters a bit, and then him betting again also matters a bit in terms of his hand strenght. And yeah, your equity to call OTT is also not dead, compared to river.

Super interesting spot, im not quite convinced what to do. Would default into calling turn and then fold this river, but it feels weird.

yeh exactly how i feel like i said i wasnt sure if calling turn was so good since if im folding to some card on river it just dosent make any sense

Turn is close but river would be a fold for me.

Given villains bet sizing it would be interesting to know what people would do if they held Ah and stacks were 200bbs deep...
