Playing the following hand I did slow play a bit after the turn as it was such an obvious flush board, I thought any bet wouldn't be matched so just checked hoping for a bet or then I could bet on the river.

Party, $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 5 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

Hero (SB): $2 (100 bb)
BB: $2.45 (122.5 bb)
MP: $0.40 (20 bb)
CO: $1.44 (72 bb)
BTN: $2 (100 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J♦: K♣:
MP folds, CO calls $0.02, BTN calls $0.02, Hero raises to $0.08, BB folds, CO calls $0.06, BTN calls $0.06

Flop: ($0.26) 3♣: Q♣: 7♣: (3 players)
Hero checks, CO checks, BTN bets $0.14, Hero calls $0.14, CO folds

Turn: ($0.54) A♣: (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN checks

River: ($0.54) 3♥: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.15, BTN raises to $0.73, Hero raises to $1.78 and is all-in, BTN calls $1.05 and is all-in

Spoiler

Results: $4.10 pot ($0.20 rake)
Final Board: 3♣: Q♣: 7♣: A♣: 3♥:
Hero mucked J♦: K♣: and lost (-$2 net)
BTN showed 7♥: 7♠: and won $3.90 ($1.90 net)

TBH I hadn't even registered that the board had paired which is my bad, I was too blinded by the flush with top card.

Don´t slow play, not even when it´s the most obvious as possible. What I´ve learnt from my (very short) experience is, that if somebody has something he will most likely call and if folds, well that happens. That´s in general. Anyway, specificaly there I think you can slow play, as you have the nuts and only river which would pair the board can beat you. Though I would bet the turn, because if villain is afraid of flush, he won´t call you on the river either. As played I would call villains re-raise OTR.

If villain is going to fold to your turn bet, he will almost always fold river too. You can get value from some weaker flushes and possible sets. You want to protect your hand because we would hate to see the board pair.
The biggest problem was you re-raising villains raise OTR when the board paired. If it was because you misread the board, well that happens.. Learn from your mistakes and move on :f_thumbsup: :gl:

I do not like giving free cards to villain. If he folds, he folds no matter what. Just bet turn.
As played, do you think that villain will raise/push a Jx flush on this paired board?

Was hoping for a weaker flush to bet, should have checked the board after he re raise me. Flush blinded i guess :f_biggrin:

Agree with above posters. Just note that you were fried anyhow this hand. The difference is made the times when you come out on top. Then you gain by betting.

I would folded to a raise :)

When he re-raise you OTR its like he's having his cards faced up - pocket 77s. (assuming we're not talking about a complete mindless maniac).

Try to bet when you improve. This is not the board where you can induce a lot of bluffs by checking. How ever your bet could be recognized as a "bluff".

I am cbeting flop with such strong draw. If we call anyway, why not add fold equity to the money invested?

Cbet flop
Cbet turn
Then bet/fold river unless he's maniac-ish then we bet/call river

And this riverbet will be relatively small because we're looking for thin value from lower flushes and want to be able to fold to a shove. I never expect a player to shove any worse made hands than ours when we bet the river. (Unless he's a maniac, like said before.)
