(22's) - Just turned nut flush on a paired board.....now what?

Yeah, I wasn't giving him credit for turning a boat...just didn't want to lose him. If the board had NOT been paired, would everyone still have raised the nut flush with this same action on the turn?

Actually, yes. The reason is that I'm trying to build a pot, and mini bets don't do it. I may raise very little, trying to induce a bluff. The thing I've learned over my long 25 months of serious poker, is that you're more likely to win big pots early by betting, not by calling and hoping your opponent catches something. For early in tournaments, with full tables, that 'something' will often beat you.
