    Default 175bb deep, second nuts on river, bet??

    (note: the game is actually 1/2 british pounds, if that makes a difference)

    -Villain in this hand is SOOO aggro, pushing top pair hands. He stacks off very easily with top pair hands, but also makes most of his money making crazy calls with top pairs when ppl are bluffing
    -I know he stacks off on reasonably dry boards, but not sure if he'd go crazy on a four flush board
    -he has been re-raising me PF EVERY time I raised... so I've started limping on the button, just to play pots with him in position since I know the implied odds are so good.
    -villain is 31/29/3.5

    -in retrospect, given that I know villain stacks off easily I should have raised much stronger on the turn. But there are very few hearts that I can see calling this river, and it would make me sick to get check raised for 100bb's in this spot if I bet
    -bet or check through?

    do you think he would call with a set if you bet?

    Yah I think this villain would probably call a set in this spot. But most of the time his range here is some some K. Possibly KQ, AK, given he raised PF, so he cooould have the A of hearts here.

    If we don't put villain on a set (since, that's really not a big part of this villain's range I don't think), should we bet?

    Do you think opp is capable of a check/raise on the river with the nut flush draw? What would you do if opposition pushes? Maybe I'm too nitty but I would just check behind. I think that he knows that you made a flush but should he hold the a check/raise on this river would be very sexy.

    dunno...but sets and 2 pairs are a big part of his range here... the worst hand i see him having here is AK. you made it pretty obvious you have a flush on the turn.

    while the opponent is aggressive...that doesn't say much about how often he'll fold decent hands.

    i check behind. his call on the turn tells me he was drawing to fill up.

    I think you have the best hand here like always

    Shoving is kind of funny. It looks bluffy and might make lots of $$$ if villain likes making hero calls.
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    I have no doubt that I'm likely ahead, but the questoin is, is there a point betting on this board given the cards that are out.

    Suppose villain was more or less solid. I'm sure in that case, we'd definitely be checking through here, since there aren't many hands that can call our bet that we beat?
