Nut hand, betting opens in front

[drtofu66]

I don't think I'm approaching these situations right and am losing value. Do you go passive and just call and hope the pot gets jammed, hoping someone caught 2 pair/set/lower flush draw? Min raise (is it ever correct to minraise?)? And if the flush hits do you assume we're ahead and fire away?
