Default Postflop play: Flushdraw on flop vs callingstation.

Recently i have run into a few situations like this:

Say you are on the button with AT, and raises. BB a callingstation calls.

Flop:

Q72, two suited cards(none of my suit)

Now BB minbets. Vs many opponents this a weak try to win the pot and they will fold when you put in a substantial raise.

But i have meet some callingstation type people who minbet here with flushdraw, to play their draw cheaply. But if you raise they will still call since they still have a flushdraw,and still are callingstations. So here is a line that i sometimes have used recently:
Flop: Q72, two suited. BB minbets, i call.
Turn: Blank, BB minbets, i call.
River blank: I put in a normal size bet.

Obviously if the flush hits i will rarly put in any huge amount of money into the pot.

Now this is not a line i use frequently, but sometimes i have used it lately, and i think my results are ok(small samplesize though).

Any comments?

I don't see much point to the river bet either. Even the worst CS isn't calling you with a busted flush draw. He's only calling you with hands that beat you (pair+FD). Sure you win it all those times he folds, but you'll win almost all of those with A-high anyway.

I tend to just raise these guys on the flop and turn unless the flush hits. Enough of them drop on the flop or turn to make it very profitable. And if they don't you're usually winning showdown with A-high anyway.

most of these guys will fold on turn once you raise their flop AND turn min-bets. If they're on a draw, just check behind on the river and you may win w/ AQ-high.
