BB here is a reg with stats 22/18/3 over 565 hands. Villain seems to be looser than usual from the BB though, with a 30% VPIP and a 13% 3bet (perhaps a bit lower here given my 5BB iso). BTN is a 40/0 fish, so both villains reach the flop with a pretty wide range. We've flopped the nuts, but we block a lot of the hands that we'd want the villains to be calling a bet with. On the other hand, if either villain has a good flush draw, combo draw, or lower set, they'll usually bet and continue vs a raise (and BTN will certainly continue with straight draws, two pairs and occasionally some one pair hands too), so I make the check-raise for value.
The turn brings the 7h, which is probably the worst card possible. It completes most of villain's draws and probably kills our action when they have a hand like 88, 99 or 89s, so I don't think a bet here achieves anything. I think when the bet comes in on the turn, villain (almost) always has a flush, and so this should probably be a fold. We'd need to make another ~$2 on the river if we hit our boat to make a call profitable, and I don't see villain paying us off often enough.
So, do you think check-raising is the best line on the flop? And do you see any option but to check-fold the turn? Input appreciated.
