After the 3-bet on the flop I was worried that he too flopped a flush but higher than mine. The turn I pick up OESFD and river the only thing I beat is two pair or a set. How would you play this hand differently? Also, do you call river?

i always call river and be so happy did not bet like 130

question in this hand is if there is a better way to play the flop. Would he limp behind a limper with AXs?

I'm calling the river for sure. It looks like a bit like a blocking bet, because he doesn't want to get bluffed out with a larger bet he can't call.
And the way he backed off after the Turn hits the 4-flush this looks more like a set than anything else.

Yeah I call this at this size for sure against an unknown. He only needs to not have the flush 1 in *5.5*, and there's a lot of flushes that wouldn't bother betting there.

If the bet was bigger I'd have more of a decision.

Flop is good. 4betting just ensures you get it in vs. overflushes or occasionally sets. River could go both ways. I probably call.

Thanks for all the input. The flop got scary but when he checked the turn it did smell of two pair or set.
