What do you think of this line? Do you X-Raise the flop?

Just bet normal size, so he can come over the top himself.

This.

Also give him a chance to call with 5x, overcards A hi. Fish can call with anything on that turn.

Cr'ing TPTK on the flop is fine against a guy who buys in for a weird amount like that. He could be peeling as wide as any pair and even some Ax hands. I don't see a reason to overbet the turn as you run the risk of scaring away some of the weaker pairs he's calling on the flop. I would bet 7 to 9 and get it in on any river if he calls.

Yes i think 7-9 is the right amount!
I smelled the ham and got excited ingame ;-D
