After his mindonk otf, I reraised with oesd and barreled big with the nuts ott. When v donks on this board and after this action and v is unknown, even though the odds are pretty good, I'm inclined to fold as we're almost always against a low flush here. Thoughts?

The river is nasty for sure. He can indeed easy have a flush here and read less I would most likely fold, but it’s tough to do for sure with the straight.

Just call imo. It's usually fairly strong when they donk river when the draw hits, but he also bets relatively small and we do still have a strong enough hand to call here imo.

Fold river. You beat only an erratic bet but then it would be another sizing I guess.

On the flop I prefer just call, you have good odds and I think a semi-bluff raise will be called a lot here because of the texture of the flop and the potential fish.

If no hit on the turn and another bet, fold.

River is up to you. You can surely bet at least pot OTT against this opponent.
