Great flop

[quadfive]

Villain is running 21/16/3.5 over ~300 hands..

I have notes on him 5 bet shoving A7s in position vs my KK preflop .... catching an Ace on the turn..

So I wanted to play a hand IP vs him..

(Other villain was an unknown)

It's hard to play this too badly as long as you don't fold. I'd probably raise/get it in on the flop.

do i just 1/2 pot bet this?

[given1982]

I'd raise smaller on the flop--when he cbets this flop into 2 people he has something, and I think a smaller raise induces a 3bet/shove more.

As played, just shove. He's a TAG, so he probably knows that you'd never bluff 1/2 pot with those stacks.

I actually cant see your raise size on the flop (replay doesn't show that right).
I would bet something like 11-14 bucks. I think we can put him on a high pp or something like a strong ace (ak, aq). Hopefully not AKd!
i would guess that we have 14 outs on the flop. 9 diamonds, two nines and three tens.
So he calls and we get the flush on the turn - fine.

Now, I wouldn't shove. I know it's not even a potsize bet and I would be commited anyway, but I think that villain could easily put you on a flush draw on flop and maybe fold against a shove. So if you shove he can still fold an overpair. But when you treat him with a 1/3 potsize bet, he will likely call.
whatever the river brings, I still think you're holding the best hand. so you can easy get it in there.
