$50 NL Flops a straight

[GBP04]

I have $60. Villain is very loose and very agressive and is running awesome. He has $110. He certainly views me as semi-tight tricky and almost "out to play pots" versus him. In reality, I have been super tight and semi-aggressive and making smart laydowns (though he doesn't know they are smart. He may percieve me as slightly weak.)

I get 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif in BB
Villain limps in SB and I check in BB. Two to the flop.

(pot: $1)

2 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 4 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 6 /images/graemlins/spade.gif
He checks, I check. I think he will bet the turn 50% of the time after my flop check.

turn is a 5 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
He bets $3 and I raise to $9. He raises to $20 and I am at a loss.

my play? He will do this with a flush draw. He may have a straight.

I pushed and I am pretty sure that was the worst play I could make.

[stu-unger]

lead the flop, if u check the flop call his 3 bet and a reasonable river bet...

[GBP04]

I considered doing that... but the problem with that is I will almost certainly be facing a "reasonable" river bet of $20-25.

[Bukem_]

Criminal not to bet this flop.

[GBP04]

Since I check the flop, am I screwed?

If he has 7-8? You're screwed eiter way. I don't mind pushing the turn.

I pushed...
he had 7 /images/graemlins/spade.gif8 /images/graemlins/spade.gif and I was drawing dead.
