Default Re: Raise this hand on the river?

I can see the raise for value pre-flop, even the raise on the turn with lots of outs. To raise on the river is asking for trouble. If your flush is good, you've scooped a big pot and should be very happy that there were no full houses. You mention that "if someone other than SB makes it 3 bets" you'd have a decision - say you raise and the tightest player in early position makes it 3 bets - are you really going to fold for one more bet? You have great pot odds for a crying call here - there is no reason to risk 2 more big bets unless everyone shows their hands before you act. Don't be swayed by the results - you did fine!
