No, just raise and take it down, or move in if he reraises. Oftentimes I like to think of these situations as potential opportunities to train the table to respect my bets or raises on the flop, since I can comfortably come over the top of any raises. This, hopefully, will make my opponents likelier to fold when I have shown strength preflop and continue to show strength after the flop.

very well played

Got a read? Does he bluff? Call too much? What range of hands do you put him on? Do you think he's probing you with the flop bet and may make a move on the turn if you show weakness?

I think a slow play or weak bet trap here is very warrented, but hands like this are 99% reads. Sure, he could have the flush draw, but it was heads-up to the flop and worst case you have outs. Also, consider that with position he can't check behind on the river, so you have a full 3 shots to get the most money out of him.
