bluff vs nit
I took forever to decide call or fold on the flop, maybe 40s timebank used.
In game I thought the bluff was "mandatory", do you agree?

Fold on the flop.
Nice bluff on the river, but I think a small overbet would have sufficed.
Disagree with river bluff against an opponent that has seen you play for an hour or more. If you willingly raise this hand and believe a bluff here is "mandatory" your stats will convince a thinking opponent to call very light.
Tighter player who donks pot on draw heavy board is a fold on the flop. Yeah it is annoying but you have so many better hands here that he's giving you his money when he does this.
It seems I should... fold flop ? OK, I agree! In game I hesitated for a very long time and finally thought "backdoor flush, backdoor straight, let's give it a try".
Thanks. Note villain is a bit short, it's actually a 1.5x pot bet.

I don't know about the bluff, but Q5s is a mixed opening in my charts and I have rather nitty preflop stats (20/19 or something like that)
