Too strong with nut flush?

Villain is 66% VP$P and aggression factor is 2.2 (0 on the turn though so I figured he thought he had a winner)

I like to just call here on the turn against most players, a general exception to my normal style.

The reason for this is that when the board blanks and he checks, your big strong bet looks a lot like a missed club draw and will get paid off.

You want the SBs entire stack with a hand like this and you didnt play it in a manner that allowed you to take his entire stack.

Often the SB will not have a real hand, but if he had a decent hand you let him get away from it.

I would have raised the flop representing a K and hoped the button had a set or 2 pair and came back over the top. Then I could set him in or I could set him in on the turn now that he is committed.

If he is not going to raise the pot on the flop then I also like a check here. However, there is really no way to get the SBs entire stack with this line.

My concern from raising the flop is that I don't see the $5 bet on the turn. I figured (incorrectly) that I had him in the trap. If you raise the turn, how much do you raise?

I'm new to the NL tables - but from what I'd seen, ppl like to come over the top with their entire stack after a turn raise.
