This is a fantastic post and sort of the response I was hoping for. I was unsure of his range. I agree with all of your above comments except for maybe the conclusion. By rasing the turn and checking the river unimproved, I am putting in the same number of bets as I would if calling down, plus I win one more bet if I improve. Why not do this?

I edited my post before you replied. The reason you don't raise turn is you will open yourself to a turn 3-bet, which will be an absolute disaster as mentioned in the edited post. I'm sorry, but I don't agree with your assessment that he will just call with even a K-high flush. Unless you're going against the most scared opponent in the world, which from your initial read it doesn't sound like, you are getting 3-bet by a flush.

Additional proof he'll 3-bet you with flush?

He views me as a TAG but likely thinks I am over agressive/trying to run him over at times, which is definitely true.

Sounds like the perfect opportunity for villain to stand up to a "bully" like yourself. With a made flush.
