The reason I checked on the flop was because I wanted to see if he had a king or a high ace. Is there something I should've done different to get more value out of this?

Hi all,

If you check on the flop (which isn't too bad), I think you should definitely bet pot on the turn and bet ~2/3 pot on the river. This gets the most value from flushdraws. I know that you don't need to protect against flushdraws once you get to the turn, but it's generally easier to get value out of flushdraws before they miss.
