Thoughts on how i should of played this hand better, maybe my raise made my opponent get away from a big pair, advice please...

Should i just of called and risked a scare card coming i.e. a diamond, a J Q 7 or a 6, then let him bet again if safe then shove? Or was this play right...

    if he started with 100bb isnt this a debateable limp pre? after a 6x opening raise

    as played i like how u played the flop dangerous board altho likely he has big pair or AK but is an opening range so could have been a bit fruity and perfect flop for your hand

    raise less on flop, he cant think he has any fold equity when you raise this big. I'm never flatting this, loads worse continues to a raise on this board

    I like the flop bet, how many turn cards leave you comfortable with your hand?

    Yea i think i just clicked the 3/4 pot or smth, what would you have made it? About 18 in hope he pushes? I rly dint wanna see a turn card without the money being in middle

    About half the pack or smth lol i wanted the money in middle, guess i could of bet less in hope he pushes, he might of only had AK or smth anyway but its just for situations like this in future

    kinda need to protect your hand on that draw heavy board and you did with a big raise

    All looks ok 2 me, just maybe the flop raise is scary rarther than inviting action.
    Suppose it depends how comfortable you feel with playing the turn if a scare card hits.

    you put half your stack in when raising the flop? so you are never bluffing

    Also maybe my over raise looks like a flush draw?

    i wouldnt make it more than 16.50. if he snap folds id take a note that he cbets massive on super wet boards with complete air also.

    you can have/look like  a flushdraw but you are prob going to have atleast a gutshot with it meaning if he has aces hes only going to be like 60% favorite vs the drawing part of your range
