I flop the nuts and was a little scared of pushing my opponent off the flop with a raise as it would look too strong but in hindsight I could have done this with a draw too. As it happens I flop the nut straight and a draw to the nut flush, I have never had it so good! lol However I struggled to get value from it as I only called the flop and checked back the turn when another club hit as I thought would be an action killer if I bet. Little did I know my opponent flopped the same hand, with the 2nd nut flush draw no less! I was kicking myself for not raising the flop as this would looked like a strong hand yes, but also a possible semi-bluff and/or a hand that needed protection. Perhaps if I had had done this, the hand would have been a different story? Villain had been calling light only had 20 hands or so on him but already I could tell he was loose so couldn't really give him credit for much maybe top pair or two pair. I feel like I really should have got more value from this hand. Could you suggest a better line/strategy to extract value in a spot like this? Thanks
