Villain has been very loose-aggressive and is running at 67/25 over more than 100 hands. Preflop I raise with 7s, villain minraises me, he covers so I call knowing Ill get paid off if I hit. Should I have folded to this preflop?

He is pretty much autobetting any flop and against opponents like this they often will fold when somebody fights back so on the flop I raise his weak bet and he calls.

Turn brings a king of hearts giving a backdoor flush draw, he checks and I check. At this point Ive pretty much given up on the hand.

On the river the original flush draw complets, he checks and I plan on checking; however, I am almost positive Im beat. If he is calling my raise on the flop he either has a made hand, or maybe a flush draw. If he is on a flush draw, he made it on the river, but Ive never seen a checkraise from this villain, especially on the river. If he made the flush he would have bet here. So he checks and I push. My line seems to fit a flush fine and I cant imagine anything calling here other than a flush, and a flush wouldnt make sense for this villain. So while only a better hand calls, many better hands fold here and it is very unlikely that he has a flush.

What do people think of this line?

Raise flop a little more (I'd make it $7). Rest looks good.
