    Default right to raise or should i have called

    i flopped an open ended straight flush and hit the 10s on the turn. one guy raised another called and i re raised making them fold..... was it the right move and they were just weak/scared? or should i have smooth called it?

    personally i also minraise the turn...allows you to set up bigger river bets.

    Well played, dont really know what they could have that couldnt call a min raise...

    Btw is Ivory Tower ---> the card?

    Minraising when the 3rd of a suit comes on the board screams flush. I would have just called and then let them lead out betting on the river and raise them then.

    even if it screams flush, not many people can get away from a minraise. its a good way to get more money in the pot. minraise + 1/3 pot bet on river is a fine line here.
