Thanks guys, my thinking was similar Alex's in that I couldn't see him calling a decent value bet with anything other than a hand that beat mine.. I also thought if I bet light I was being left open for him to stick in a RR with a worse hand and have me thinking about laying it down??

Me losing a big pot previously prob affected my thinking here, and went for Check/Call option which I didn't like afterwards but nice to see Alex putting that up a possible play

Thanks Jock.. Do you think he likely to call that size bet on the river bearing in mind the scary board???

If he shoves in after your bet are you calling confidently?? Its going to be another $150ish to call (pot 415ish)??

Hi All... Looking for feedback on how I played this hand up to this point and what my action should be after the river comes down...

I have been playing fairly aggressively up to now, probably importantly I overplayed a hand against this oppo losing a big pot slightly earlier with cards exposed.  He too has been playing pretty aggresively, and have seen his stack see-saw whilst I been at the table

I agree with Lucky Lloyd here - Its Mateygirl that is more likely to be on the flush draw, and for that reason I would fold in this spot.  I would have a guess at Mateyboy being ahead at the moment with 77.
