Guy seemed like a fish, although his stats looked like normal around like 30/20 after only few hands.

So I called preflop it was kind of a no brainer for 1bb. Flop I have a lot of outs but against his broke range I am very well behind so I just called. Turn I got the flush which is all nice but should I raise here? I didn't want to go for a big pot here with my 8 high flush. River I got another 1/2 bet which seemed more likely to be somewhat like an overpair or Qx or maybe a Tx. I think he would go for a bigger bet here with nuts.

Why did you raise the river?
I guess he will fold all his trash and continue with „value“ hands only
He can have A5o sets overpairs ...
And higher flushes
Just call here

First of all I would raise flop with flushdraw and Gutshot. Because he hits the board not really well. I think take it down on flop to get his overcards to fold seems good with this hand because you will have no showdown value, but still good equity on the flop.

If you just call flop it think raising turn is better vs a fish.

Also if you play it like you I i think you have to call river.

As played, just calling river. You mentioned in your text body that you dont want to play a huge pot with 8 high flush but on river you raised his bet. This Action on river seems to contradict your thoughts on the turn.

Honestly, I like raising flop here. You have a nice little hidden gutshot to go along with your FD. You pair outs are often clean here too.
