Help playing a flush

None: Jon Doe: $0
Hi Guys and Gals,
Congrats Phil on the new site....

Spoiler Alert... i am PLO fish, would appreciate any feedback

No Reads on Villian other then 50/25 over 12 hands and full stacked

Preflop- hand seems like a call, double suited and strong pair with pot going multiway

Flop-Call seems proper, not sure if i want to play for stacks at this point?

Turn-Thinking if i ever want to bluff in this spot, i need to lead the turn with some strong flushes as well for balance?
so leading for 1/2 pot seems to make sense? When he flats turn seems his range is capped @ sets ,2prs and maybe some weaker flushes?

River-Board pairing kinda sucks, So i think checking is best, give him a chance to maybe turn some made hands into bluffs, value cut himself betting to thin, check back alot of hands i beat, and of course own me with boats?

thx in advance , gl @ the tables

In general on rivers like these, I think check/calling is usually a pretty bad line - you let him showdown all his worse hands for free whilst still getting value when he has gotten there. I don't think you have much chance of inducing a bluff because he just has SO few bluffs in his range at this point (QJT folds turn as would AK which could be turned into a bluff). Therefore, you are more checking and hoping he value-cuts himself which seems like a much worse way to target the bottom of his value range than by leading yourself. I would just bet/fold here, hoping he calls with a lower flush. If he jams, w/e, it's an easy fold as he has a full house most every time.

First of all, Villain donk-led the flop( usually his range will be air/some hands that he can go with it), but this is a multi-way pot and ppl don't mess around too much. I assumed his range is pretty strong here. He could had some bad AAxx hand that decided just flat(we have blockers, but still) and KKxx, AKxsxs, QTsJsx, AK7x.
When we led out the turn, we rep NF here or we might have blockers at this point. I think villain could continue with his whole range here. If we bet the river and I don't really rep much, and all worse hands will fold to a bet. Villain could bluff us out of the pot with his top two hands(blockers for sets). So, I think I like x/f> x/c> b/f IMO. BTW, Im a small stake play too, so I might be wrong. Hope to see some other comments on this hand.

when BB donks pot into 3 people I'd think he does this for value/protection with a set or two pair. I'd bet bigger OTT, around 35 BB / $7, and probably b/f river... agree with 5carab
