3-bet the turn or push the river?

On the turn, I made a small bet hoping to lure a fish into raising me big so I could jam my stack since I hit. For some reason I put villain on a straight and I figured I'd just push the river.

This is good, a turn 3bet might scare a straight off seing as the flush hit.

Why don't you ask these guys?

Just kidding. Depending on the player I think your line is fine.

I'd check/raise the river given your line.

I wouldn't go for a checkraise here, as villain may very well check behind.

I would 3-bet push the turn. He will certainly call you. But when you just call the turn raise its a risk the river pair the board and then he might lay down the straight or a lower flush there.
