Villain is really quite loose and aggro pre with 38/31/13%3b after 200 hands, but less aggro post than other tags.

What is villain "repping" when he checks this flop? I thought either he's giving up with air or maybe going for a c/c with something like dry overpair.

I decided to pot the flop in the case that he is going for c/f but I suspect that might have been a mistake. It would really be a shame to not be able to realise my full equity with this hand so I'm thinking maybe a check back and bet good turns might be the best play till I figure out what this check means.

As played I think I should bet the turn and if he's on an overpair he just has to pitch his hand now + i have a QJ blocker and lots of backup if he calls again, also I can fold to a big potsize raise.

A checkback on the turn is good.

Think about it this way. What would you do if you had T9xx and that card hit on the turn? I think i'm doing a little pot control now and checking back as I don't see the preflop raiser check/calling the flop with a flush draw.

Point is this is a nice turn to see what happens on the river. You can still rep a full house if the board pairs because a set or 2 pair may very well check this turn, but with the gutshot straight and nut flush draw there is potential to get paid off big on the river if you hit (flush or jack hitting the river means opponent could make a worse but strong hand).

If the river pairs the board I would fire big at this river if checked to me, otherwise I just give up with the flop bet having done its' job of getting me to the river cheaply.
