The fact that he smooth called the turn and min-raised the river made me more inclined to think he'd have a flush instead of a straight. Am I bein paranoid? I need to go for his stack instead?

I think it's fine. Depending on if CO was a donk, I might push. Calling is fine with the 3-flush out though, IMO.

I'm calling this a lot and never folding. He could easily have a Jack, probably more so than a flush.

Oh yeah, folding's not an option for me here. Just wondering if I was being too conservative here by not popping him back. I tend to err on the side of aggression, and I'm tryin to ease up on it a bit cause it gets me in trouble. Once I'm good enough to play tough spots I can crank it back up.

I feel this is exactly how you should play these situations.
