Appreciate the raise input.
In the end I folded.
My thought process was essentially:
1. He could easily be doing this with AhX hands. Based on my reads, AQ only.
2. He could also have a set. He's likely raising QQ pre, but not 22. He never shows up with KK here.
3. What cards can come that make me happy betting into him? A
, J, and that's it. I could still be ahead for many other cards, but I can't call another raise OTT.
So I don't see myself putting in another bet, nor calling another big bet/raise. I'm probably ahead right now, but there is so little in his range that I beat.
In hindsight, I still don't think I raise but I think a call and check OTT would've been optimal. If I had the A or J I am definitely continuing.
In the end I folded.

It looks like you're afraid to play big pots without having the nuts or really close to it. That's losing poker. Good players are going to exploit you. You have a really strong hand, and not many combos of hands that beat you. If you can't put significant chips into the pot with a T high flush here, why are you playing T5hh?

Pre-flop is obviously bad, but "you shouldn't play this hand if you don't want to stack off here" is terrible logic.
Suppose he has a reasonable pre-flop hand here like T
9. Should he blast off 300bb on the flop with the 3rd nut flush? If you think the answer is yes, you should sit in my game.
