Yes, one or more players were clearly chasing the flush. With a draw on board you MUST get your money in after the flop and/or turn because if they miss their draw they will not pay you off on the river.

Smooth calling the flop with position was probably a good play, but you should have come out firing after the turn when no one bet. Another $3 bet maybe? It also would have setup a stronger value bet on the river.

I watch it a few times, and i had the same thought about bettin the turn.

thanks
