Here's a hand that made me sick yesterday.

Villain is 17/14/4 over 218 hands. No notes on the guy, assuming he has been playing pretty std. Blinds are nitty so I don't think he's calling me with too many implied odds hands. I may be wrong?

This seems to be a recurring theme atm - I don't connect well with flops and when I do, this shizzle happens! How is my bet and turn sizing? I was betting big to charge draws for calling but PT3 says I'm giving him pot odds of roughly 2.2:1. Should I have overbet the flop? His fold to cbet is 50% but that's 1/2 occasions. I'm not sure of the kind of pot odds I should be giving him or how to work that out.

With a turn like this, do I continue such aggression? In these kinds of situations I tend towards the b/f option as I fear I am almost always behind when I c/c. In this case I think my bet should have been smaller (was mistakenly still in draw charging mode) so that I don't lose so much when I fold to a raise, and it may also encourage him to raise over my bet and let me know he's got the nuts. (Would it also encourage him to bluff over me?!) Would $1.30ish be better?

Otr, I figured it was pointless to bet. A small bet would just look weak and I would beat nothing that called anyway. When villain shoves, I assume this is an instafold as I am almost always beat here.

Thoughts are much appreciated.
