Is there a better way of playing this hand?

c/r flop is a valid option here. Hits him quite well and we rep thinish by betting.

Played like this you have odds to call the turn.

That's quite a wet flop, did check calling might be a better line for the times you do get raised. Also think your flop cbet was a little too big, I'd have made it $4-5. Their flop raise is pretty huge, 50bb, we have no fold equity and are pretty much behind. Call me weak-tight but I think I'm going to fold here.

You could CR the flop, but cbet is fine too. You need to bet smaller though. Your hand is way too strong to fold, he could be raising worse draws. I'd shove flop vs the raise.

I like bet calling this flop being a little deep. 100bb deep though I agree with Harive that folding might even be best due to the huge raise size.

Even with those odds on the turn I'm folding once the board pairs. His flop raise is pretty polarised and I think we'll see a boat too often if we end up getting all the chips in.

Bet/calling isn't the worst given the slightly deeper stacks, the only problem is that you can't control for villain's sizing which shouldn't come into play that often but it did this time. Villain's sizing is so high that if not for the deeper stacks I'd probably just muck it. As played you kinda have to call the turn.

Given the stack to pot ratio both check/calling and check/raising are actually viable especially on this texture since it kinda hits 3bet calling ranges.

My problem with calling the turn is it can make the river very awkward to play. Given this exact run out I think folding the river is fine as we lose to any pair. However, if we make our flush on the river and villain bet's after we check to him I don't see how we're good. Equally if we're calling the turn when can't fold the river if this were to happen. Also I think his range is very boat heavy when he bets 1/4 pot on the turn after raising so big on the flop. I think if he was semi bluffing a combo draw on the flop he would either shove turn or most likely x back and see a free river. This was my reasoning for x folding the turn even getting the correct pot odds to hit my hand.
