Just finished up a session (same session as my other post) but had one question from my last orbit -
End of the session and I'm up just about 2/3 of a buyin (stack at 525).
Straddled pot by (I don't know how to describe this Villain) a straddle-loving? player, he's straddled 10+ times and has been raised off his straddle
every single time. One caller immediately to my left, and I've got 7
9
on the button. I raise to 20, there's a very fair chance that the limper folds pre-flop, as my only other pre-flop raises in the past hour or so have been KK and AQ. Of course, both call and we see a flop. Pot 60.

So I'm flipping through my notes and I find dejavu from the same session (posted a little bit ago..). This hand is different because I have a good positional advantage and at this point in the session I'm regarded as a thinking, winning player who has taken a lot of good lines and has made some very unexpected (but correct) folds.
I decide to lead this flop for 50 and I get one caller. Pot 160
Turn T
Villain has about 200 behind.
Hero?
