Learning to be more aggressive (little content)

I think I played this a lot better than some of other big hands I've hit on the flop. I'm slowly learning that you can be aggressive with a solid hand and still get callers. I think I'm used to playing with players that are too tight. How is this line?

Looks very good to me, good raise on the flop, don't want to slow play this with possible flush, good lead out on the turn and push on the river.

I am on pokerstars as well, same 0.05/0.10 tables, ajall1313, I'll watch out for you haha.

sometimes, even when we play it perfectly, we lose to someone holding 67

i'd check/call the river to catch a missed flush draw bluff
