This guy hasnt gotten too out of line, but recently he has been raising a decent amount pre flop. This was the third time this orbit I think actually, which is why I raised him. What is everyones thoughts on how to play after the check raise?

If he has been raising a lot lately I can see a reraise here with T9s OTB.

The flop is good for you. I like your bet too.
I think you can call his minraise and try to get a straight here. Looks like he wants to reel you in, with a big pocket pair here. Could be a flushdraw too, so I would be a bit carefull if a club came on the turn or river.

I don't think a 3bet here will work, I don't think you can make him fold. But you're getting over 4:1 with more money coming if you hit a straight, in most cases.

If your 100% happy with getting all the $s in if a non club J or 6 comes off on the turn, then call, otherwise fold. Since you can't really put him on a fh here (would 77 / 88 really c/r this flop?) then I think it's safe to say you should be happy to do just that.
