Thoughts?

Basically figured that a flush draw often minraises that turn, but that there were still a lot of hands I was still behind on the river (and enough that I was ahead of to make the call).

Also, this may be 100% standard -- I've just started playing again to make some cash for Christmas, and I'm just making sure I've got the basics down.

Beh. Smells like you're beat, but i guess you have to call.

isnt that the beauty of the game, that he DOESNT have to call.

idk flush looks like it but maybe even two pair. you did lead into 3 players to act after you on the turn. i dont think AX is raising you here, unless he knows that your tight (if thats the case) and youll fold an ace to this turned flush/(top/mid) two pair.

the miniraise smells like a (nut?) flush.

I'd fold to the turn raise. The field is so large that unless he's an utter moron (ok this is a possibility, I know) it's ridiculous to min-raise, and very likely he has any kind of made flush he's not going to be able to let down.

Remember that at the 22s there are still lots of players who love playing those Ax hands too... I would be wary even on a non-flush board if I got raised on the A turn.
