Villain is an aggressive rec with high vpip, he likes to bet posflop.
So on the flop I handle this hand as the nuts. I don't fear from any heart, given I have the Ah. So I think calling is best here.
On the turn if a heart falls I just call. The 7 could help his hand a bit, I think this card is better for his range.
Now my question is, what is the better play here? raise or just call?
If I just call there and a heart comes, or a lower card which is connect with 752, and he shoves, I am not that happy :)
As played if he shoves after my raise, I call.
