If i just pot the flop against an unknown how often are we likely to get raised?.

How likely is it that a stranger you meet on the street will punch you in the face, if you go to him and call him a [censored]? You will not know until you do it, right?

Ok, maybe this is a bad analogy, but my point should be clear. Without knowing anything about your opponent, you can't answer this question.

Are we potting flop and turn and folding when the flush hits or are we overbetting it and hoping not to lose him?

Its not worth risking the check raise to build pot is it?

You can't check-raise, because there is nobody to act behind you [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

If you flop a monster like this, do anything to make to pot as big as possible - it is that simple. Do a little dance in front of your monitor when he check-raises you. Then 3bet him big. He tells you he has a big hand (obviously not the nuts), or he is bluffing. If he is bluffing, you will not make any more money. If he has a set, an unlikely 2pair or a strong draw, you want him to put all the money in.
