Default Re: (5.5) Nut flush draw - should I continue?

[ QUOTE ]
Now that you know that I am villain and my cards, any comments on my play?

[/ QUOTE ]

If you were willing to fold the flop to a reraise, then I like your flop bet.

If you were not willing to fold on the flop, then I would bet more (anywhere from 400 to all in).

Even though you are not giving immediate pot odds for the draws to call with your 1/2 pot bet, the draws have decent implied odds as the 240 chip call can win the pot + your 600 remaining chips.

I know if I were your opponent I wouldn't be thinking "240 chips ruins my pot odds for this draw" I would be thinking "how much can I win if I call this and hit my flush" (and as per my previous comments, I would be folding or putting you all in on the flop if I had the flush/gutshot draws...).

The way your hand played out, I like the turn push when the (likely) blank fell.

Someone please correct me if my thinking seems bad here.
