Lately I've been looking up people in spots like this because when an aggressive player calls my flop bet on a board like that, I generally rule out flush draws because most aggressive players (at least ones that I play with) are going to raise cbets with flush draws on the flop.

Wouldn't be surprised if he put you on about what you had and shoved.

I do this sometimes, and think it's a good play if you have a lot of history with opponent and expect to keep playing him. I think you can get him to fold a decent amount of hands, and as long as you do play flush draws/sets like this occasionally, it's not bad. Also, if he does look u up, you have lotta outs and it will make him hesitant to bluff lead into you and double barrel you in the future

Does this guy lead into you often after you PF raise? It's possible he has a set or a flush and will call your raise here. He is showing a lot of strength by betting into you twice. I usually save steal plays for when the guy shows weakness.

If this guy owns you so often why try to make a play when he is probably good at seeing through them?

I'm not in love with the flop float, but turn is fine. Are you calling if he shoves (I don't have a good answer to that lol)?

meh to the turn raise, when he almost-pots twice he's pretty strong here, i think. plus you have to call a shove. flop float, well, dont do it too often but its alright now and again, especially if you have good reads on his postflop play.

If you have something really good on this flop youre gonna raise because a lot of draws are there and good players usually raise draws on flop. Specially this flop can hit many combo drawing hands and flush draws with two overcards. All of these cards like said usually raise this flop.
