Villain was 60/15/2.5...

I usually just valuetown it for $12.

I think it's a sexy idea though, and I have no problem with it. I just don't know if you're getting paid as much.

Just thinking since he's a 60/15/2 type, he'll read the check as scared of the flush and bet out. I doubt he'll call the raise though...

Small bet hoping for a raise??

You were right the first time. This is a perfect spot for a check/raise. Since he's a fairly aggressive player, it's quite likely that two pair or a set would have raised on the flop. Thus, when he calls the turn, he almost has to be drawing. If he hit clubs, he's definitely going to go for a value bet here and you can try to get a big payoff and if he's on some other draw, then checking gives you the best chance to make a money by inducing a bluff. Also, whereas a good player might fold a good flush to the C/R and end up paying less than they would have with a regular value-bet, someone who plays 60/15 usually hates folding in all forms and will look you up often even to a pot-sized raise. Definitely a good C/R spot.

How are we with the bet sizes leading up to the turn, with AAxx and the flush draw? Should I just be potting it?

I would, but as long as you're betting it the same way you'd bet the nuts, it doesn't really matter.
