How is that WA/WB with a straight and a flush draw on the flop and a double flush draw on the turn?

Lead the turn and fold to a raise. As you played it, fold if you think he has a 5, push all-in if you don't think he has one. His most probable holding after the flop-raise is some mid pair, so you might as well get the money in while his overpair is still an overpair. A draw is also possible, and then it's also pretty obvious that pushing is best.

And if you intend to call all-in anyway on the river, just push yourself. His calling range should be bigger than his betting range here. (He would be pretty retarded if he bet a made hand you beat).

I read it as extremely likely villain had an overpair here. In this case, we aren't concerned that the board is draw heavy,,,villain has two outs. If we hedge our bets and try also to protect against a villain who might be drawing don't we risk losing value from 99/TT/JJ etc?

I guess this comes down to a more general question - if we put villain very probably on hand1 but perhaps on hand2, should we play to extract the most out of hand1 ignoring the possibility of hand2, or play some middle line that has less EV against hand1 but more EV against hand2?
