I had the best flush draw and VERY probably the best hand PF I can't recall what was his exact VPIP and PFR but it was around ~92/~15 after 30-35 hands (saw it later in the session since HEM won't show stats for other player if they played less than 30 hands... yes I was stupid enough to configure it this way)

I think that with the nut flush draw I was in a good position to win a very nice sized pot... however, I also think I totally screwed on this one so if I could get some review about this, I'd be happy.

TIA,

I'd have probably pushed on the turn, in my experience, which admittedly isnt much, his min-raise on the flop looks like someone who knows what a c-bet is, knows you've just made one and has heard that people miss the flop a lot b/c they raise pf with big cards, which is about right but you've also got the nut flush draw and he gives you 4.5-1 odds on your call, when the turn comes i push there i think, top pair with the flush draw, good enough for me at 4nl, you'll get called by enough worse flush draws, straight draws and pairs like QQ or JJ to make it a good move.

The only thing i can think that bets half pots on such a drawy board is a worse draw than yours.

Just my 2c worth though, maybe some of the better players on here can give you some better advice

You didn't include any reads on the villians

I personally raise a little bigger here w/AK, I want to get a lot of money in the middle with the bet hand and deny set mining odds if I can. I raise here to .40. Raising bigger will also usually get you fewer callers, also will buy you a little more respect on your c-bets.

On the flop I check, that is a freaking horrible flop to c-bet with all those callers and after you did c-bet and get minraised, I am very leary of a set. Bad Players that flop sets think minraising is good as it will be called and you did call here with a nut draw. I have seen it a lot lately especially.

Personally I fold the turn, you were minraised on the flop and now he is pot betting the turn like the K didn't scare him and he is hoping it helped you. Still screams set, two pair or a flopped straight.

River is a standard fold.

Just my thoughts fwiw.
