There is a flush draw on board. People have said before that make people pay for their draws. I entirely agree with that. But is my bet too high that I am not getting as much money out of my opponents as I could possibly be getting. Obviously a small bet would be incorrect here. Would a 3/4 pot bet or 1/2 pot bet be better to keep people drawing or can I just be thankful that I won the pot here and didn't get drawn out on?

Your bet is fine. If someone had a flush draw they would call. No one did.

[MTBlue]

Nobody had anything. It happens.

Nice hand. Well played.

I would be happy to take this down on the flop as you did, nh.
