Aggressively played flush.

Third hand at a new table, only read on villain here is that he's an ego player, so I knew that being aggressive would be the way to play this hand. Do you guys ever play monsters aggressively like this?

This is how I almost always play monster hands.

Judging by the size of your stacks and given opp won't be scared by your aggressiveness, I would bet more on the turn so that you have an easier time getting it all-in on the river. Though in this case it doesn't matter, but just my opinion.

what do you normally do, check it down?

Standard flop play. Bet more on turn.

I don't normally do anything. I respond to the given situation in the what I think is the appropriate way. Sometimes, in this situation, I will use the TPTK line and act afraid of the flush board, especially against a lag player whose known to bluff at pots.

It's hard to make your opponent think u have tptk when you raised preflop and the board is a flushed 9875 and you are still betting...

Standard.
