Throughout hand I was very confident I was ahead, upto and including river. I check to induce on the flop, bet for value on turn and then on the river I am more than happy to value bet. His all in takes me completely by surprise, and really did not smell right. For me he is completely polarising his range here, as he is never value betting AK, AQ or sets. The only hand which makes sense is a backdoor flush, or a stone cold bluff.
Part of me did want to call, as the way he slowed down after 3betting preflop had made me confident he had missed, and knew that a bluff was the only way to win the hand. However I reluctantly folded as I couldn't believe he is bluffing enough times in this spot to make it profitable. What do you think, made the flush or a sick bluff? And can you ever call here?

Good Fold
good fold
this villain is more than capable of 3betting stuff like 98s etc pre.
gross spot tho
the wheel draw being there makes this really tricky cos he must basically know you never have the 3.
think i like the fold....there is so much out there beating you
i would check/call river though i think in that spot especially this deep
would only call if seen villain making similar plays before or have reads of how he plays made flush that doesn't fit with this play
like if he usually min or small re-reraises river when he hits a big hand
he could also have AQ and think he was slow playing you by checking flop and just calling turn but more likely its a flush

I'd bet slightly more on the turn and river but I think its a good fold.
idk I cant see many hands he shows up with here that flat turn/shove river, maybe A3s, Ace with small card flush. I would really want to call this but not sure
Also the only hands we beat on the river is stuff like KK/Ax that he is turning into a bluff and I don't think he's going to be doing that enough at 50nl for calling to be good tbh.
