There seems to be several places where this could have been played differently, but any flaws in this particular line?

Raise the turn, fold the river.

I donīt like the min. raise on the flop. Raise like you got a pair, to like $35-40. The turn is tricky, but if you want to min.raise anywhere in this hand, it should be the turn.

I probably call that river to with those odds, but I'm not crazy about it.

I make a bluff on an 4 flush board every single time, you'll win it more than 50% of the time against opponents at that level, show it once, and do the same thing again when you have the nut flush. Payday.

With that in mind, raising the turn will make your river decision easier.

Raise the flop properly.

As it stands, allin on the turn.

I thought about raising the turn during the hand, and am still not sure about it. You guys bring up good points, but I thought that just calling makes it much harder on him, it's puts him in a very tough spot on the river. After all, this is very similar to a heads-up game, we started with two random hands.

Yes. But the pot is so big, protecting should be your number 1 priority. Also, if he is good I doubt he will put much more into this one with a hand you beat, even if you do call the turn.

I like calling raises with sneaky hands like this in multiway pots where you can be sure youll probably get some action if you hit the flop hard...Heads even though you have position im not sure I like this call pre flop.

Otherwise I either flat call the flop or reraise more than you did..seems like you are trying to get a call here..

Reraise the turn bc you reraised the flop and he wont suspect the made flush that often..I mean you reraised minimum for deception correct? Now its time to cash in on the deception.

Okay, sounds like my line sucks. In my defense my reason for the minraise on the flop was that if he re-raised my min-raise to say $60-$70, I was going to push. Also the min-raise might buy me the river card (it didn't), and also the min-raise is deceptive, I could have anything I reckon.

Anyways, the guy had..... drumroll please......
