Not agressive enough?

[EdSchurr]

The preflop raise was good, imo, since everybody has put their bets in already. WLLHE says that given my preflop raise, I should bet out rather than trying to check-raise. However, I didn't reraise when I could have, and WLLHE says I should have. I'm just double checking, but is that right?

Another question I have... given the possible flush on the river, if it's raised, should I be looking to fold, or to call? Or does that really depend on the characters of the players? Even if that's the case, would the general rule be to call one bet, rather than miss out on that 16BB?

Thanks a million for helping an amateur out!

This looks good except I would 3-bet the flop.

Don't fold if you get raised on the river. The pots too big. If it's raised and re-raised, that's another story though.

3-bet the flop. The button could be raising a club draw or a straight draw as well as a weaker ace.

Don't worry too much about the flush since it was runner-runner.
