Heads up IP in 3-bet pot and V micro donks into my nut flush draw.
$2B/$3SB/$5BB NL Holdem, 9 handed, Monday morning game
Villain: Sat down a few orbits ago and immediately started commenting that the table has no action, and he soon requested a table change. Granted, there are several stacks of only $300-$500, and max buy-in is $800. V is late 40's Indian male with slight accent, wearing somewhat fancy rings, watch, and bracelet. His card protector is jewelled and in the shape of 2 connected poker cards. His stack is $550. I've never seen him before.
Hero: Middle aged Asian regular, quiet, tight-solid image. I have the big stack at the table, $1400. See bottom of post for a prior hand history with V.
MP limp. LP limp.
V in SB raises to $20.
H in BB raises to $95 with AdKd.
($195) Flop: Td 8d 5c
V bets $20.
H calls.
($235) Ts

I would raise the flop, maybe shove, with strong draw.
What is river minraise??? You also reopen the action without accomplishing that much.
Preflop 3bet seems very big, I guess it's ok since he called. But probably not a sizing I would choose.
I would treat the flop donk 20$ as a check, so are we really checking back nfd+2 overs? We either raise small or ship.
River it's the easiest jam ever???
As played although he's never bluffing this spot, we need to call. We beat some of his random flushes, we only lose to boats and quads.
Love that raise size preflop. It looks like you're BS-3betting his BS-raise. And if you take it down, fine.
But then you just . . . call his sackless little tiny flop bet? If you're going to minraise anywhere, do it here. But I'd rather you go $95 again. If he wants to run it back, run it back.
River . . . ugh. I know the previous hand has you aware that he can bet with less than the nuts here, but whatever he's going to call the minclick with he'll call an all-in with. You would only make this raise if you know his all-in is a boat and can fold to it.

I take 2 seconds, and call. V shows A8o.
