... What do you think about ck/calling flush draws on wet boards like this where the largest part of our range is probably perceived to be flush draws should we ck/raise

Pros to ck/raising:
- fold out better Kx or Ax (if those bet)
- maybe fold out a 6x or 55-22 (if those bet)

Cons to ck/raising:
- charge ourselves against 7x, Jx & 88+
- look like a flush draw
- end up value towning ourselves if we double barrel (assuming they call 2nd barrel light)
- don't get paid if it comes

Pros to ck/calling
- hand is disguised
- can potentially ck/raise a flush turn & not get credit for flush (villain may put us on one spade for example)

Any other thoughts when we don't know much about our opponent?

I would check raise for the following reasons.
We fold out some hands which has good equity against our hand.
It is not bad to charge ourself against Jx, 7x etc. since we have 11 outs, so quite good equity against those.
It doesn't really look like flush draw, we might have a lot Jx as well. And even if it looks like flush draw he can't do much, he needs to fold a ton of hands and maybe call some pairs which we are not really much behind anyway. And I think we are likely to get more value if we do hit. The line check/raise flop, bet turn bet river probably looks more bluffy than the line check call flop and check raise turn. At least in my experience turn/river x/raise are very unlikely to be bluffs and I am usually very tight against those readless.
