I think I coulda got a bit more out of this hand, just called on the flop to try keep as many people in the hand as possible.. n was hoping someone hit a flush on the turn. Could I have played this better?

the completed flush on the turn didnt help you at all. if anything it made your opp think u had the flush after u called the flop and bet out the turn. imo it was pretty obvious you either flopped it or turned it. i don't think you could have extracted much value here but i would try checking the turn as well just to slow play it and try to represent trash to encourage a steal bet on the river

hmm... i think checking on the turn would give me least value, I doubt anyone would try to steal such a small pot. Maybe the best way would be bet a little bigger on the turn, n a little smaller (in relation to the size of the pot) on the river. I think my opponent probably had As6? or somethin like that

#2. I would bet more on the turn, but the same on the river. You can also raise the flop to build the pot, and get more value from flush draws (even though they are drawing dead ;))
