Say very tight UTG raises PF in a HE game. You hold AKs and call, flop Axx with two diamonds, your suit is say Spades.
Good flop. UTG bets out, for whatever reason you call, then call his turn bet, turn is an x.
On the river a low diamond comes. Is this better for you? Is a scare card better for you, since now you can safely raise, and fold to his reraise, since now you have more information. Say the river isn't a flush card. He might 3bet with AK also, and then you'd be in a pickle.
So, my question is, anytime you can more confidently react to his action, you gain, so raising the flush card is a "safer" raise (as long as you have a strong hand that warrants a raise), since he won't 3bet even with AA likely.
