Yes, you can fold bottom boat in that spot. I play these stakes and folded a boat myself yesterday... though it was painful to do!

Preflop: What?

Turn: Check-raise is fine here, since you will likely have many flush draw bluffs to go with it.

We can make some assumptions about V's hand here too- the delayed Cbet could be due to a very nutted hand (KK, KQ) or due to V having a mediocre hand (AQ, QJ). V could have some draws of his own there too.

River: I think this is a bet/fold spot. Your sizing is ok- you are looking to get called by a flush. On a double paired board at $25 nl, I don't think many vs are raising so large with a flush otr, so you can fold your 5 and move on.

It's not really that nitty once you consider:
1)V doesn't do this with worse and
2) V is never bluffing here.

Thanks so much, man. I guess the preflop BB defence was a bit loose, haha.

Checked out your YouTube channel btw. Great start!

Weak preflop defense in my opinion. It's better to 3-bet bluff, but even this would be a pretty poor game against most of today's 25NL opponents.
Regarding the postflop, on the turn you started to create your trap, probably thinking that some made hand had bet on the flop, which motivated you to bet on the turn.
This situation is accentuated much more on the river, where the possibility of a full house for V decreases a bit since the most likely combo should be FH of kings. However this thinking is not correct because there are many Qs that V could open from a position like LJ com: AQ; QJ; maybe 9 more additional combos. Whereas your minor full house locks out hands of little relevance to V, such as K5 and Q5, which will rarely play the way they did in this hand.
Greetings.
