1)
Turns out I made the right call here but hopefully someone can come up with a logical way to face this situation.
So I have no other info on this guy. I put him on Aces on the flop though so I just call to hit the flush. Then I was really dumbstruck when it hit. I was like, do i bet out to hide my nut flush or slowplay? And then river, I thought maybe I could make it look like a bluff or something .. represent a deuce ... It worked because there's so many stupid ppl in 2c 5c games ...
So phil gordon says when you improve on the turn, just play aggressively and bet out like 1/2 pot .. so I should have done that and value bet on the river?
2)
Also, (on the same day I flopped or turned like 5 nut-flushes), I bet out like 40c pot bet on the flop with nut flush and this one guy remaining in the pot raised me minimum .. probably with top pair kings. When I flop flush, I'm afraid that the 4th suited comes on the turn/river so I re-raised his bet to about $1.50 and he folded ... I'm guessing that fear is pretty worthless and should have slowplayed?


3) Sorry for not converting this but this makes me SO MAD

a straight, Ace to Five
Seat 8: burea1124 (big blind) showed [Qh Qd] and lost with three of a kind, Queens

I had no info on these two guys ... so I slowplay my set because the flop is so good for me ... the Ace comes on the turn so I bet out a little hoping I would be raised ... and the river basically screws me ... Is it almost always wise to bet out my good hands in a multi-way pot even when the flop comes out that good? I usually don't try to slowplay a lot but with only 2 others in the pot, I thought I could afford a slowplay. It worked charms on the stupid guy but wow ... any advice?

First hand is fine, but 2nd is not that good.

First of all, raise more preflop with QQ.

I dont see anything too bad with the flop play, nothing too scary, so ok to slowplay, but at 10max there really is no reason to do so, cuz people will call with anything so I would probably check/raise it

Turn you have to bet more

River is an easy fold seeing 2 all ins in front of you on a 4 card straight board.

I tend to bet my sets - you got undone by runner runner, a bit unlucky to be honest.

Should have folded at the end though, i always worry more about the person calling an all in betting rather then the person betting (in position). I cannot be comfortable someone checking then calling an all in particularly on that that dangerous board.
