Opponent in this hand is ULTRA-tricky--to the point of making him a pretty bad player (I think he does understand hand-values and would be pretty decent if he didn't out-tricky himself so much). I've seen him check nut hands a LOT on draw-heavy boards, and pot-sized bets are very often bluffs. As a result, I think I need to check the turn here, then call or possibly raise (I don't object to raising the Q-high here since it was runner-runner) the river. But the turn bet when I get overstraighted just isn't a good play imo, despite having picked up the flush draw.
Here's the hand (villain has Ah6h7s9s):
