Re: A nut flush draw and a big pot
On the flop, I would raise when it first got to me. The gutshot's not trustworthy (someone out there probably has a 6), and your overcards aren't entirely reliable outs, but you do have the nut flush draw, and raising might actually buy you some outs.
If I decided just to call, I wouldn't be able to resist 3-betting when the action in this 7-way pot got back to me.
Doing so could cut down on your action if you catch, but I think you have too much equity in a field this big not to make that 3-bet. You're going to make your flush by the river a little more than a third of the time, and you do have some other (much less reliable) ways to win.
The river checkraise seems all right to me, but it depends on how likely your opponents are to decide you must have been drawing to the flush to be doing all that calling. CO does seem to like his hand a lot, though, and it appears Button either flopped a big hand or caught a king (or kings up) on the turn.
