250BB deep, flopped straight vs. LAG
 

1/2 NL live. Me and villain have $500 stacks

I am regarded by most of the table as tight/rockish. On the button after several limpers I make it $15 with 6h5h. All fold to player just to my right, the only player who has me covered. I have never played with him before, but earlier I watched him make a pot sized $100 bet on the turn with a gutshot, even though one of the remaining players had only $20 and was obviously committed. All in all, I figure him to be LAGgy.

(Pot $35)
Flop is 8c7c4d. Villain leads out for $15. I smooth call.

(Pot $65)
Turn is an irritant, the 4c. Villain leads out for $50. I raise to $150. Villain calls.

(Pot $365)
River is the Kd. Villain shoves. Hero...?

I think I call because its live 1/2, but its close.

Please raise the flop.

Raise the flop, and I'd probably just call turn but it's close. I think river is a fold without a better read, this is a flush or boat a ton of the time.

Why I didn\'t raise flop
 

I didn't raise flop because if he's stabbing to see if I have AK or AQ as opposed to a big overpair (what he's thinking I must have), I lose him if he's only betting one pair. The last thing he'd think I had was 65, so I was willing to gamble that the turn card wouldn't complete a flush or a boat. Granted, that part of the plan did not work out well.

If he has nothing then he will fold no matter what anyway, far more cards hurt you on the turn then help you.
