This hand was really really strange.
Preflop I decided to slowplay IP: both for deception and the chance one of the blinds squeezes.

On the flop I got the nuts - I could raise here but I think the story makes sense to just call again and let him bluff his weak hands.
I am not so afraid of the clubs as I do have the Kc myself (of course Axs would crush me)

The turn is a really bad card for me as it completes the flush draw buts more draws out there and some middlepairs have me beat already. Still I cant fold with Tp and Khigh flush draw.

Now the river is a really strange card. There are just two cards that beats me Ac and Jc (6c is no chance as played).
He checks to me which makes me think I got the best hand here.
Now I do bet for value against Qc/set/straight (maybe wrong) and he c/r me all in.
On this point I am really confused and think I make a horrible call because all I do beat is a bluff.

Villains line is weird I think. Leading turn and check/shoving looks pretty strong and with 4 cards for a flush it seems like villain has it this time. Still thought to fold a king high flush.

Try building a River strategy where you bet at least half pot, preferably more.
It's not worth it to risk reopening the action if you are aiming to win so little.
If you hand is not clearly worth a value bet for close to pot, maybe it's not worth a value bet at all. Especially in an ICM spot.

Here, you are beat by a Jc and Ac. And you are well protected because you do have all those cards... plus the 6c in your range.
I can't see anyone capable of playing this way and having any bluffs. :f_thumbsup:
