This seems like a tough position to play in. If the BB is the type of player who would check the nut flush draw on the flop, I think you have to consider folding. I would really worry about ATs or similar hands. The odds were certainly right to check/call the flop with a flush draw.

I think also you have to be concerned about a hand like TT. I wouldn't put it past some players to slow play trips with several people in the flop and a flush draw on the board.

I'm much more inclined to raise without the K/images/graemlins/spade.gif. You don't include any reads, but MP1's bet is often a made hand vulnerable to a flush. Sometimes it's a set, sometimes TPTK or an overpair. This is a good time to raise.

That's a good point. Also I think that since the pot is sufficiently large at this point that even if you made the raise, were then 3 bet, and were forced to fold on the river due to an obvious flush it would be a decent play that didn't cost you too much.

A raise would definitely provide you with a lot of information in this case.

Ok, seeing if that is what I should have done, and as you guys guess it are right. The BB called after I did and then hit his 55 set on the river. I don't think my call was horrible but it sure would have saved me a pot if I had done what you guys pointed out. Thanks
