    Default holding ace high flush, best way to play turn?

    BB seems a little upset after losing a buy-in to a badbeat a few hands earlier. I think someone could be holding a jack, hopefully someone is holding a lower flush. Do I bet out hoping someone will go over the top? or check-call and raise the river? feeling fairly confident and hoping to get some others all-in here, if the straight flush turns up then I guess I lose the hand....

    Button ($22.29)
    Hero ($15.11)
    BB ($12.71)
    UTG ($24.70)
    MP ($45.62)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with , . Hero posts a blind of $0.10.
    UTG calls $0.25, 1 fold, Button calls $0.25, Hero (poster) raises to $0.65, BB calls $0.50, UTG calls $0.50, Button calls $0.50.

    I think I might go for a big c/r here. Leading into this many players might be too strong, and I'd imagine someone has a J here and will likely bet it, scared of giving a free card.

    You raised preflop, and raised the flop, might as well raise again.

    I must say though, your flop bet is hellish weak. It should be about 3/4 pot. That makes it look more like big overs, and then when you hit your flush on the turn and bet, they don't suspect it.

    Then on the turn, prolly 4, maybe 5 if your opponents suck. Fuck any kind of slowplay, let's make some moneyz.

    I like the flop blocking bet if the table is really weak/passive. I tend to make tiny bets like that with draws in my home games and people are too scared to raise.

    If theres a couple of aware/ aggro players in there it sucks though.

    Bet $4 or so on the turn and take it from there.
