You flopped a flush.... Not the nut flush and not even a powerful flush you should have bet it hard after the flop and win it right there then if someone cold calls, you can put them on a higher flush and when the board pairs on the turn you can suspect boat and maybe not go broke on the hand. Hindsight is 20/20 you can say anything you want now because you know what he had and what you should have done. But your post flop check is what did you in here.
The biggest problem I see people having is slowplaying a hand to win a 10 dollar pot with a lot of risk and getting kicked in the face by a monster.
Why not just win 10 $1 pots with little or no risk at all.
If you check your flush all the way you won't get paid on the river MOST of the time anyway unless your smoked. It sucks flopping a flush and only winning a dollar but hey if you win that dollar every time it's a lot better than losing 29 bucks for no reason.
P.S. Greed makes more people broke than bad beats, women, and Child Support combined
