100r hand against Bax.

If all you rate to make on the river is a single miniraise I don't think that justifies slowplaying the turn. If you were setting up a win of his whole stack, awesome, but since you're not I just raise the turn. After all, he doesn't have to automatically give you credit for the flush.

I agree. Your risk here was not worth the reward. You wanted to get paid more than his turn investment and in doing so, you risked getting sucked out on (a river [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] or the board pairing). Meanwhile you only got a minraise more for your troubles.

I think most people raise the turn for three reasons here.
1) They want to build this pot up so they can get it all in on the river.
2) They do not want to risk seeing a [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] hit the river or the board pairing, killing their action or even worse losing the pot all together.
3) They feel a bet here will disguise their hand just as much as a call. This ofcourse will only happen if you are able to make that play without the flush consistantly.

Obviously you are, which would make even more sense that you raise the turn here. Bax could not narrow your range to strictly a flush and if you say he pays off too much then you have him in an extrodinary spot.
