Blinds 150/300 (25), 10 handed. Folds to BTN, who is a very solid player (and went on to win the tournament), and with he 17,000ish behind he makes it 800. SB folds and I call in the BB with 9h 8h and 13,000 behind.
I flopped pretty huge when 7h 8d Jh came down and villain bet 1,500 into 2,000. So my question is: is this an appropriate spot for a check-raise? I have approximately 17 outs if I am behind, which I probably am, and a monster draw.
Instead I check-called, check-called 3,500 on the 2s turn and lead-shoved the river when Th came and I hit my straight flush.
With such a big draw I don't want to scare away his action as he's always C-betting with a large portion of his range. All the while, I wouldn't want him to fold something like KJ if I raise the flop.
Maybe even a check-jam on the turn is appropriate when he bets; there's 8,500 in the middle and I have 10,200 behind before the call?
Was my line correct to just check-call until the river and lead out? Or should I really be check-raising at some point in this hand given stack sizes?
