Chasing the nut flush - AKo

Hey guys. I'd like your opinions on this. UTG+2 has been the ultimate call station. He'd been involved in the 18 hands since I'd sat down. However, his postflop aggresion had been low up until this point. I realise 18 hands isn't close enough to a correct read but having seen him involved so much I could help chasing.

Was I correct to cap the flop, or would a call (either there or earlier) have been a better idea? Thanks...

I'd probably just call the 3-bet on the flop and fold the river. Ace-high doesn't win this one.

The whole hand looks good to me.

I missed that river call. I agree. fold the river.

I'd play it the same, except fold the river.

Not sure why you're calling the river with A high against someone who's typically passive, but looks ok otherwise.

call the flop 3-bet, fold the river
i don't think you win over 50% on the flop so capping for value is wrong and capping the flop for a free card is a little to advanced for nano-limit IMO

If he's been passive post flop up until this point, I'm just going to call the 3-bet on the flop and fold the river when the flush misses.

Don’t cap the flop, call the turn, and fold the river.
