I am the BB not UTG. So its BvB http://weaktight.com/6836052

Villain is Deldar and is very very tight from the SB compaired to the playerpool so I choosed to just call.
Flop and turn is standard imo. Interesting OTR. 

He reps only boats by betting himselve and sometimes the Nut flush. I think I have the best possible blocker hand turning my hand into a Bluff, but by raising I only rep boats KJ+ and all str8 flushes. The question is, do I xb str8 flushes OTT (or at least sometimes or should I?). Ingame I thought it's a nobrainer bluff, but now it feels quite bad because I think I would bet all my str8 flushes OTT because it should realy hit his c/c range, so I would always go for value.

What do you think, this price is still right, because he is supposed to fold so frequently?

You are only repping KK or KJ.  If you have a K blocker, I'd say the bluff is fine occasionally.  Doing this with just a straight flush blocker is a bit suicidal imo, hes auto calling with J10+.

Yeah I think we're not going to ever get credit for checking back a turned straight flush (even if you might sometimes do that).  So you're only repping rivered boats.  Prob is he's going to look you up every time he has a boat or a NF with Jx

He is never value betting worse than NF, so you say he is calling his whole value range which shouldnt be right gto wise. Otherwise if he does so, the bluff is terrible.

note that I said NF WITH Jx (meaning NF that also has blockers to your boats).  Obviously he's going to occasionally v-bet a NF and fold, but I don't think he's going to fold when he has blockers to the most common boats and you're line doesn't rep much.

let's be honest, your line really restricts your value range in this spot.  you have way more straights and medium flushes in your range than boats.  So if you're only making this raise when you specifically have Qc I think you're probably doing it with a reasonable frequency.  so it's probably fine.  I just think people are going to bluff catch more than they probably should in this spot since you don't rep a ton.

The bluff is not only because i want to rep str8 flushes with the blocker, like i said i rep boats and the str8flush blocker still helps not having him snap shove over my raise...
