Wasn't sure if I should have just cold called on the turn or not?

Villain is solid so far and is playing pretty tight.

I never cold call the turn there. I look to get allin on that turn because if he is chasing a flush and he calls he is not getting the odds. I think you are way ahead of his range on the turn and need to get it allin so you can get paid by Ax hands.

Your bet sizing needs work. You should be betting at least $3 on the flop and like $7 on the turn. If you had done this he may have been more willing to call an allin.

Otherwise I like how you played it just fine.
