Monster Hand, Fishy Game

For the record, I flat-called his $70 turn lead. Should I have raised? Doesn't this turn-lead seem very suspicous? I really thought I was either beat (but with outs to the nut flush) or way ahead (perhaps he had a pair and a flush/straght draw) which is why I flat called-I agree that it makes the river tougher though.

You definately should have raised on the turn. I see his $70 turn lead as nothing more than a continuation bet to try to take down the pot.

I think unless you got a perfect read on villain, that you are overanalyzing the situation.

pre flop/ flop seem fine. Villian firing out on the turn seems weird. If he was slow playing a big hand and you being the aggressor on the flop, why didn't he check again to you on the turn trying to let you hang yourself? Anyway, with only the third nuts(Behind 6-7 and the freaky 2-6) and the nut flush draw and the straight flush draw, I'm raising the pot here. If he comes over the top with the push I'd call with your hand and the redraws. (Anyone fold to a push here and why?, I think the math seems pretty close - thanks)
As it played, the river seems a little more like a blocking bet than a value bet. If you were really afraid of being up against the 67, a call here is fine. I think a call is fine regardless, because if you raise it seems like you are only getting called by a better hand anyway.

Good thoughts. How much should I raise the turn?

bet the pot, shows your serious, would be less than 25% of both your stacks, so no big deal to get away from if he came over the top. But like I said above with all the redraws and a pretty good made hand I'd be callin the push anyway.
