Default Flop a 4 flush, should I of called? I have 72s!

Flop: (7 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(7 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB folds, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP1 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Hero calls.

I'm getting the odds to call if my flush is good, but with all these people, I am worried it may not be good.

This is all fine. You can worry about whether your flush is any good when you get 3-bet on the river or whatever.

EDIT: I'm undecided about your flop bet, but I'm probably results oriented because it got raised by someone in early-ish position, which isn't really what you wanted to happen.

Flop bet looks bad in retrospect but that's results-oriented as bd3 said. I do think checking is better; no chance that juicy flop will be checked around in a family pot, and you have neither the position nor the cards to make a move on the field.

I don't like the turn call. 9.5:2 is pretty thin to begin with -- now subtract off the rake, the fact that both villians got aggressive when the board paired, the chance it will be 3-bet behind you, and the low rank of your flush cards.

check raise the flop, check raise the turn if you miss...make your flush on the river and check raise again

It's awesome

actually, just check-call the turn, it's better....

The texture of this board makes it unlikely that someone is now full, though I might be cautious if the river was the A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I think you are in a good position to collect around 2 bets on the river if you hit your flush, so I think you have an easy turn call.

Obviously the action here should have been stopped on the turn decision once UTG+1 raises, since I know that UTG doesn't 3-bet.

Why? Nobody raised PF.

Even considering Richard Berg's comments on the turn?

How do you know this?

No sign of KK, and QQ. But K6 and Q6 are possible, but unlikely. Is this your reasoning?
