The villain is unknown. I have only three hands on him.

This hand kinda boggles me. On the flop, I check behind for a free card, hoping to hit something, preferably a flush. OTT I pick some more equity, having an OESD to go with my flush draw. With 15 outs and about 30% equity, the turn call is a no brainer, even if it was a pot-sized bet. OTR I get the flush and I bet small, hoping to get value from some Jx or Qx.

I don't understand his raise, however, because it fits with nothing. He pots the turn. If he tells the truth, then I should see 77 in his hand. But it wouldn't raise the river. In fact, nothing would raise the river except for slowplayed A♦:x:diamond: . But what A♦:x:diamond: would bet that big in the turn?

Have I been bluffed here? Does the acronym in which if you don't understand a guy's line then he never bluffs in that spot apply here too?

The river raise on nl5 is an honest spot. As we hold a weak flush it is very possible that villain has a stronger one.

Hey,

I dont see him checking flop with FD equity or completing with Ax preflop. You've played that little too safe. You need to realize that you were facing blind war. I'd donk bet otf or try to build a pot in any other way in case you hit straight or flush.

What I dont understand is why did you fold when flush occured without any proper info. He could've raised you with any two especially if he checked otr as aggressor

Villain could raise with 2pair, any set, straight, weaker flush. Turn bet is a pot sized but I would bet pot too. The pot is so small that if we want to get folds or get value I think betting a bit over 1bb isn't gonna do it so I wouldn't worry about his bet size. I think it is not very likely that he is holding a better flush than we do so I would push all in here or at least call. Folding is way too weak.

Ax, Kx, Tx, 9x flushes beat us.
I follow a simple rule: never put all your money in without nuts when playing in a limp pot.

just call and make a note, reraising is overplay

That sounds reasonable.

I would bet flop and probably turn myself.

As played: his play is really strange I don´t expect he´s playing nut flush so often this way. On the other hand x/r on the river is rarely bluff. Probably I incline more to fold but I don´t hate call and make a note.

Don't play weak drawing hands ever if you can't stand a 50bb loss. You don't have any implied odds whatsoever (since you fold to a raise that you should be praying for to come).
