I thought a bit about raising here and would definitely have done it with AKs, but AQ is iffy for me and there are a ton of people in here, so I call and see what the flop brings.

Hero checks, BB checks, UTG+1 checks, MP1 checks, MP3 checks, Button checks.
I go for ye old check-raise, figuring that one of these million people is very likely to stab at this. It seems I was mistaken. lol

The turn gives me a draw to the nut flush, and no one bet last street so I bet out and get raised by the button. With top 2 and the draw I thought 3 betting might be good, but wasn't sure I'd call if he shoved so I called the 3bet.

Villain overbets pot on a blank river. My issue is that my hand played out like a draw (flop check, turn bet/call, river check) so he could easily have me on a missed draw and be trying to push me out with his own missed draw. I think there are a lot of other 2pair hands here, but the straights are certainly possible. Any better lines here?
Final Pot: $30.50
