Reads/Though Process:

Kind of a loose call preflop being oop, but both of us were deep, so i thought it was worth a look since a big pot was possible.

Villain is tag as far as I can tell. Deck has been hitting him in the face, and he's real aggressive in betting it. I checked the turn because I was almost 100% sure that he would bet, and assume I was on a flush draw. In retrospect, I guess the 8 would have been better because he might put me on KQ. I also thought betting out on the turn would scream 'got there' too much, and the fact that someone was all in would allow him to confirm his read for free. Again, in retrospect, if my read is 'he's tag' then this should be a good board for him (unless he has aces, then its scary) so betting might get me more money in the pot. On the river I definitely wasnt checking the nuts, and I thought I could still pull off the 'im on a flush draw' routine, so I thought a nearly pot sized bet was okay.

My question: bet the turn or go for the check call, or even a check raise (i think CR is worse, but Im not an expert).

Thanks for your input .

yes,. bet the turn.

its obvious he has some kind of hand, whether its 2 pair, set, pair + draw etc... unless u know your villain well enough that he'll bet wit that king on board, then a check is good.

but I feel a bet is better because he'll still be coming along for the ride. he has position on you, and thats enticing.
