Small sample on villain but he showed LAG tendencies. Is this stack of to loose, I we could crushed against his 3bet range like A :club:K :club:QQ or he get free rolled if he has straight+FD?
Well you flopped the nuts with a small redraw. However you are also in position.
I would call this flop and use my positional advantage. If I had just a nut flush draw or middle set on this flop, I would call, so I also call when I flop the nuts.
The reason for this is you started the hand with 100 bets. You can still get stacks in on the turn and river so you don't have to stack off on the flop.
If you call this flop and villain has a hand like QQ or T8xx he will barrel into you on the turn most likely. If you raise the flop he might fold T8xx (he wont fold QQ, but then you're going all in versus QQ either way you play the hand).
So raising isolates yourself against other strong hands, where as calling means players will still (maybe) try to bluff you on the turn (it's possible they are betting a blocking hand like KK75).
If you call this flop you can rep clubs if a club hits and also rep a full house if the board pairs, so you might win instead of chopping. It might also save you money if villain is betting a flush draw that hits on the turn and he donks at you again no matter what is going to hit.
So the odds turn greatly in your favour if a blank hits on the turn, and whilst it is perfectly acceptable to stack off on the flop here and nobody will ever tell you that it's a bad play (it's an absolutely fine play!), it's also worth considering calling the flop bet and shoving the turn instead.
