Re: Waiting till the river to raise
i personally would have raised the flop w/ flush and str8 draws both being likely you can't let someone catch a free one. besides any 4 to the flush or str8 draw will call another bet. that being said, smooth calling the flop means a definate turn raise. you can trap the 2 callers in the middle and collect. and if your re-raised you can slow down to check/call a blank river. 2 pair is hard to slowplay on a draw heavy board, it can get you into serious trouble against better hands. if you play it strong from the get go:
raise-pf
raise-flop against bad plyr
you will have a much better idea what the others have
