So I limp - as per BSS SHC for small-pair in middle position with no raise.
On the flop I have a flush draw - although I am aware of Q. But after 2 checks I feel I have to bet 3/4 pot to get more info. The fold is good, and the call doesn't worry me.
Villain's stats: VP$IP = 16 PFR = 4 Aggr = 0.3
On the Turn I make my flush - so feel compelled to bet again (3/4 pot). Now the call does concern me somewhat.
The 3 on the river doesn't worry me because a straight can't beat me, but now there seems a good chance the villain has also made a flush as the bets haven't scared him off.
Would you say it was right to make the final bet with a 5 high flush? Or should I have checked to see what the villain did?
If I had checked, and he bet about 0.50c - should I call?
Any other observations with regard to my previous bets?
