Flush draw vs. 2 made hands thru the river

After a long layoff from poker, I wanted some input on the play in the following hand. When I went over the game with poker tracker, I think I played correctly, in that I had pot odds for each call I made, not even counting implied odds.

But I'm curious how my other two opponents should have responded.

I would raise this pf, which would change the hand postflop. As played, I think your postflop play was fine.

I raise this preflop as well. As for the rest of the hand I think it is fine.

Before posting a hand preview it so you can see if the converter worked or not. In this case you didn't set the correct format of the conversion to 2+2. There should be a drop down list box somewhere on the conversion page where you can select 2+2 instead of FTR.

As far as the hand is concerned, KQ should be raised from any position at .5/1. If you had close to odds for the flush I think the play is fine.

You easily had the correct odds for every call you made.

You should definitely be raising this preflop.
Flop is fine... sorry I don't pay attention.
Turn is fine.
River is fine.
