Instead of raising the turn couldn't we :

A) call here, and raise a river flush / call a non flush?

wouldn't this be the most profitable way to play it? You put 2 bets (maybe more) in with the flush and don't have many worries about being 3-bet with a better hand.

Would this also charge UTG+1 as if he called one, he will probably continue to call? I guess the only problem with this is we don't charge UTG+1 to pay for his flush / straight draw and we miss the value on the turn (however if he has a sd/fd he would often have as many as 12 outs. Not a huge equity edge?)


That way when we make flush we commit a total 3 bets as a huge favourite. On the turn if we raise we commit a total of 3 bets when we make our flush but may also get 3-bet on the turn and it may end up costing us far more.
