Opp was a good regular whose play I usually respect. This had me puzzled. Do I have to go to the races here?

i would have checked behind on turn just to keep the potsize in control especially as we're only holding an medium ace but have some nice outs to the nutflush.

as it was played it's pretty close with the odds you're getting to draw to your flush, but i would tend to fold because this looks much like a set-line to me and if he has the set we lose some of our outs.

Hope this helps,
Double

Thanks. As soon as I read your reply I knew that I should have checked behind on the turn. My reasoning here was that I had TP plus the draw for the nut flush so if i hit it on the river I could get his stack. In this case opp showed me AQo.
