AA on monochrome flop turns the nut flush -- how best to proceed?

its 2nl I would just raise for value, try to get his stack in by the river. Hope he has a flush himself to get paid, maybe raise 3x and push river on an unpaired card

A min raise pre-flop seems a little bit small on NL2. My standard size would be 3x from early position. Flop Cbet could be bigger as well for value like half pot. Calling flop on the raise seems fine.

Turn you could raise against a fish that could over play weaker flushes. Against a decent player I would call. You play your hand basically face up if you raise. Would be with a call and raise river as well.

Yeah -- my PokerStars buttons are 2.2, 2.9 and pot. At NL2 the 2.2 just ends up as 2, and the 2.9 is 2.5
I could probably adjust these, but the 2 and 2.5 are working more or less. "Pot" ends up as 3.5, and I'll use it in UTG and SB.

I did raise the turn, hoping to look bluffy...

River: (56.5 BB, 2 players) 9♠:
BB checks, Hero bets 28.5 BB, BB calls 28.5 BB

Hero shows A♠:A♣: (Flush, Ace High)
(Pre 84%, Flop 32%, Turn 100%)
BB mucks Q♠:K♠: (Flush, King High)
(Pre 16%, Flop 68%, Turn 0%)
Hero wins 109.5 BB
Rake paid 4 BB

Nh, if you raised a bit more on turn and bet river a bit more you probably could have stacked him

Yeah -- but so often I try that and get folds <sigh>

Villains line is pretty strong when he check-raises flop and leads turn for 2/3 on a spade but I understand forsure. I sometimes rather play it safer aswell and get some value than bet too large and get none at all
