Nice flop for you. I would usually raise the flop to 2.5-3 and try to get all-in with a draw this strong, but calling too is fine with position. If I raised the flop and CO just calls, I have the option of checking behind on turn if I miss my draw.

On the turn you got your money card and it's time to get the monies in. I doubt BB will overcall that big a bet unless he has a very strong hand, in which case he will call anyway so I think raising is the best option here. You have pretty much exactly a potsized raise behind so I think shoving over CO's bet is the way to go.

I don't mind calling and getting it in on the river that much either, but I think it's nice to get it in before the river brings a card that either kills your action or hand.

Edit. Don't post results and please shove river over villains bet.

i was scared of higher flush, and was playing c/c the whole way. it worked out this time, but u reccomend raising all streets with boards like this?
