Ditto. You have to get paid on these hands.

The bad news is you got very little out of a monster. Not that you would have gotten much more, but a PF raise might have netted you something.

I guess the good news is, despite giving up two essentially free cards, a flush didn't hit you.

You absolutely needed to bet something on the flop. By not betting, you let three people draw against you with a flush draw on the board. Betting there doesn't necessarily indicate you have an A--you could just be stealing or have a decent hand trying to shut out a flush draw.

Same thought on the turn. Even though two players dropped, raising the 100 was necessary. Many players will bet that board with a flush draw, a 4, or any pair, and perhaps pay off a raise.

When the K came on the river, you had the deck crippled. Highly unlikely you'd have gotten any more $$ at that point.
