Thoughts on flop c/r? [Edited...no boat was possible, I must have been thinking of another hands...]

You have the nuts on the river. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

The hand looks good from here.

Thoughts on flop c/r? Because of the flop c/r, my flush is obvious on the river, but a boat is impossible.

If you didn't checkraise the flop you would have gotten flamed.

Well, my normal line would have been to bet out the flop, but I've seen a number of posts suggesting the check-raise on flush draw. Are there factors that would sway this towards betting out or even check/calling or is check/raise the standard with nut flush draw and PF raiser? (I guess, is it that I have &gt;2 others in the pot and PF raiser is to my left?)

Betting would likely blow away the field here.

The main thing to consider is your relative position to the PF raiser. In this case, since he's acting right behind you and he gets 2 callers a checkraise is the right play. If you bet out and the PF raiser raises, you'll blow out the rest of the field and you want them to call, so let them call 1 bet at a time.

If you were 1st to act and he was on the button, then betting out, looking to 3-bet would be the way to go.
