played too fast? or good opportunity to push villain off a draw. do ever make someone out for flopping the flush?

Tough spot. I don't like raising this flop with the J as you'll likely be called and dominated by the A and K.

From the turn on I think this is fine. I might check/call river depending on bet size. OOP this is a difficult hand to play.

I dont like preflop. KJo is just too weak for me from MP. I'll raise this here occaionally if my image is tight and I'm fairly sure CO and Button will fold.

Not sure what you're trying to accomplish on the flop. You're not likely to push anybody off the nut draw with a raise here. You're also not going to convince many unknowns that you have the flush, so they are looking you up with 2pair, and will probably still draw to the straight.

This pot is just too big to be oop with KJ. Granted, looks like your hand is possibly good by villains call on the river but how often do you expect to be ahead here against an unknown? Best course of action is probably fold pre.
