If one or more players called on the flop, I would make another small to medium-sized bet on the turn and then do the same on the river, perhaps increasing the size of my bet if a third flush card came. If another ace came, I'd consider moving all-in to bust a player unfortunate enough to have aces full.
I suppose a min bet wouldnt have scared everyone off and confused them a bit....but with no raise PF, I thought that I had to let someone catch up. Nobody really did, I just got lucky that the guy was an idiot and called my value bet. If you do bet small on a flop like that and everyone is scared, are you at the wrong table, or just SOL?

I knew that someone sitting on AA, AX would at least call me down, but it doesnt seem to look like anyone had a damn thing.
