Hero is in the small blind in an 8-handed 2/5 game. Table has one whale spewing money (calling 75bb's pre with 62o and betting 5bb's on any flop.. More a giant fish than a whale.. Strayed too far from the high stakes raise-'em poker tables). The regs have adjusted to limp/call to see flops with any two hoping to stack the fish.
5 limpers, hero completes.
Flop ($35): As7d4s
Hero bets $35. Folds to a reg with 150bbs sitting in cutoff (villain). Villain is a loose aggro player who isolates fish and outplays them. We've played in loads of tourneys, but not much cash together. He's a live pro who (I think) respects my play. I've seen him showdown j3 and 104 with second pair and the like in massive pots (mostly the winning hand) so he clearly makes most of his money on later streets with good hand_reading ability. Terrible description but I'm on my phone and playing at the moment.
Aaanyway, villain raises to $120 and it folds back to me.
Villain has $600 in front of him and hero $750.
What's the correct line here? I appreciate any feedback.
