raise more preflop, 1.5 is good. Bet more on the flop, at least $2. On the turn, $5 is good. River is an easy fold, this is always a flush.

You would raise 6xBB PF? Please explain...I think the hand is played pretty standard

oop + 2 limpers means you should raise more.

My raise preflop is a standard pot raise (I use the "bet pot" button).

I realize its a pot sized raise, but its better to raise more oop against limpers.
Yes, a fold is standard.

Yeh OOP against 2 limpers is bad but I still think its a bit too much PF. Anyway, I would fold here as well without reads but it looks like a possible bluff since the bet is so big. If I hit the flush I would be 2/3 potting it

I agree with the 1.5 PF raise .. the standard is 3xBB + 1 for every limper. Here it would be 5, but since you are OOP it should be more -&gt; 6xBB

I would also fold the river .. this is a flush 90% of the time. And that's also the reason why it is so important to bet enough on flop/turn. You don't want to give villain the odds to continue with his draw .. and if he does, you want to make the most money from his mistake.
