From the flop on I was saying to myself runner-runner clubs or an Ace. CO fairly solid, couldn't put him on anything on the flop. Hoping he didn't have KK when the river hit but I have the nut-flush no way I could check that.

If you're thinking this, your raise on the turn is absolutley atrocious.

Why do you need running clubs given that CO capped preflop?

I like insurance obviously I liked my hand enough to continue raising. All I would like to know is if anyone thinks I should've slowed down at all

Since CO looks like he's going all the way, I would call the flop raise and then raise on the turn with a safe card.

I think the 3-bet is fine. CO and SB both showed their strength preflop (SB called 2.5 bets). Is the flush draw what makes you call the raise?

This is sound advice heads up but we're not in that situation.

On the flop, the SB and UTG may have a hand like 57 or two clubs. You don't want them to stay in the pot and you also wanna get heads up with the CO, who you might have crushed (KK, QQ, JJ). The 3-bet is good here. Turn and river are standard.

That was my thinking when I raised the flop. I wanted to get HU with the CO because I know I have him beat and I'd like to reduce my chances of getting drawn-out if possible.

Final Pot: 29.50 BB

SB has As Ks (two pair, kings and fours).
UTG has 7h 5s (straight, eight high).
CO has Jd Jc (flush, king high).
Hero has Ah Ac (flush, ace high).
Outcome: Hero wins 29.50 BB.
