P: open 3x > 2.5x > 2.2x.

As played (2.2x), ok-ish to flat IP vs 4x 3bet, but it's close.

F: as played, call IP. I prefer to check/raise OOP if positions were reversed, but IP I prefer to realize my equity.

T: as played, fine.

R: fine.

I'm unsure about this entire hand.

Flop raise is bad. If you have the money I recommend signing up at pokercoaching.com its a great training site, I see you post several hands at a time on multiple forums so It seems like you are really trying to get better. The best advice I could give is to use a training site to supplement you, don’t rely on only forum feedback to get better, the game must me learned and studied in depth aswell and pokercoaching is a great place to learn. Lots of good coaches with good content . Discussing poker is helpful and has great benefit but you must also learn solid playstyle

Why don't you see a shove all in on the turn?

Thank you for your advice Casey.
But it's too expensive for me as an NL10 player.
For me, discussing on my hands is enough, and you learn a lot that way.
I can think about it when I play higher limits but I am still far away from that.

What are you going to get villain to fold here? They 3bet pre-flop, and bet called a flop raise. I mean, unless villain is capable of making a big fold, and unless you have enough history on them to know if they can, then shoving is going to, long-term, cost you money.

OP,

The raise-call of the three bet pre-flop is fine, but I would have just called on the flop. With the nut flush draw, you want to realize your equity, and the issue with raising their lead is what happens if they shove? Their flop lead is pretty large, so if they have Ax with no hearts, they are putting a flush draw in your range. Their turn check is strange, because their helping you realize your equity on the river. But maybe they're an ABC player that when they do shove on the River, it's very polarizing. They either have Ax or air, and I don't think there's enough air in their range for you to make the hero call.
