What would you do here?

Villain was very aggressive, had been in most of the pots and had his chipstack going up and down constantly..I didnt think he had a king.

youre getting almost 2-1 on your money, but chances are you are beat.

I would have raised on the turn. You picked up a flush draw and its unlikely he has a K now. Raise and see where you are at. If you are reraised I'd consider my odds - call if I had em, fold if I don't.

If you wait until the river you are giving yourself a much more difficult decision. If he calls your reraise and the bets into you on the river you can be sure you are beat - not reraising the turn you are forced to make a pretty crappy call on the river where its very likely you are beat.

Thanks for the Feedback. I decided to call because I knew he was loose,and:

viking30 called - $400.00

Ljugtomten shows: Queen of Clubs, 7 of Hearts

viking30 shows: 5 of Hearts, 8 of Hearts

viking30 wins $1560.00 from the main pot

Caught him :D

I was quite happy with my read there
