Flop the monster!... now what do u do?

MILK THAT COW!

One of the biggest mistakes you could make in this type of situation is to chk raise. Maximize your winnings, let them draw to the flush/ straight... the chk raise gives your hand qway and allows 2nd best hands to get off cheap.

Why did you bet the river? Player2 bet the flop and the turn. Don't think he'll bet the river as well?

Why not push instead of reraising?

I think the 320 bet on the river was just the right amount myself. Could possibly be seen as a block or steal and just asking for someone to come over the top. Push after the reraise on the river though.
