Default Straight flush, perfect card on turn?

In this hand I flop the stone cold nuts. Should I be raising villian's flop bet on the theory that he'll think I'm on a draw and call with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]? Or flat calling as I did here and looking to let the A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 'catch up'? Maybe getting calls or raises from the blinds? How should I play this and why?

I'd make a small raise on the flop, say to 3. Then bet most of the pot on the turn, simpy because I want to play for stacks and build the pot. By just calling the flop, you actually keep the pot small.

A flop raise will probably be called by an OP so get some more money in on flop before a 4th spade comes and possibly kills your action. Any big spade is calling anyway.

Raise, you want to play for stacks so you need a bigger pot.

Turn bet looks good to me, I'd bet the same. Sometimes you just not going to lure in the guy...

Any reads?

If CO is the kinda of player that likes to take a stab at the pot often then a call is fine. But if he is pretty passive then you wanna be raising this as you will probably get good value from his range.
