Top two from SB on a 2-flush board

[Henke]

My appologies if this hand is very straightforward, but I've just started playing big bet poker, so well, I have lots of questions [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Been reading this forum while playing, so I cannot say I have any strong reads on villain. But this many limpers pf wasn't really common on this table..

Post hand analysis and questions
I think betting $1 pf is probably the worst possible amount. I'm giving my hand away, and I will be pot-commited if I hit the flop. Raising .75 would make it possible to make a pot size bet both on the flop and on the turn, which probably would have been better?

Or would it have been better to raise the max (to about $2.15) and increase the chance of winning with just top pair?

On the flop, given that I did bet $1 pf, would it be better to bet somewhere between $4-$5 to be able to push on a non scary turn, or should I just push as much as I can since I don't have position?

Also, as a side track, do I make more money by "charging" a possible flushdraw here, or should I try to get others involved who probably only have 2-3 outs (and let the flushdraw in cheaply)?

preflop I'm either limping or raising it to $2 minimum likely $3.

nice play post flop. I don't think any other way to play it considering stack sizes.

Limp or raise more preflop. $1 isn't going to minimize anything-good postflop play IMO.
