Default I guess I\'m semi-bluffing?

Or what would you call this? I think I might have the best hand a lot, but calling seems weird with these stack sizes. And I can't see many worse hands calling here.

Villain is 25/17. Not too much history. I've been aggressive.

I would just call the turn. He's either FOS or has you beaten (and won't fold), so I really don't see what the raise achieves. We have position, so lets really try and use the extra information that we will have on the river to play the hand optimally.

And, what?, min3bet the flop so that he will shove and we have to fold our draw?

i mix up 4 betting the flop and calling depend on villian but i normally try and get tpand fd all in on flop 90% of time
as played tho i would just call the turn. i dont think he is folding whatever he has other than a bluff.now on river if u miss your flush and 9 u gotta tank it and make a read.

I'd usually play it the same but just call the turn. It seems like he's hardly ever folding there.

lolo brain still asleep, not sure what I'm talking about.

Nonetheless, I'm not terribly happy about all the money going in on the flop (we will be taking the worst of it), especially considering we have the leverage of position.
