Flopping nut flush on 1/2 NL

[siljey]

Hi,

How do people play it when they flop the nut flush? Should I bet (how much) or should I slowplay?

I think it matters which cards are flopped. For instance, a flop JQK is completely different from 457.
Also, if 2 or even 3 cards share the same suit people can be on a flush (draw).

So, to answer your question: If some face cards are flopped, i would make a small to medium sized bet as people think you have top pair.
If 2 cards have the same suit i would make the bet higher as to not give any player proper odds.

If some low cards r flopped i would definitely slowplay, again depending on the suit cards.

i bet out for several reasons:

- i like to play my big hands fast, so i take shots at a lot of flops...like, just about every one i see.
- no one will believe that you're fast playing the nut flush, so you'll still get action
- any other suited card will kill your action on later streets
- flushes are still vulnerable if someone flopped a set, and full house draws can't be detected like flush and straight draws can
