200PLO flopped nut flush - is slowplaying a sin?

[Flip-Flop]

I think you played it very well, it`s gutsy, no nervous raise ( many people will call a flop raise here "protecting their hand" but I call it bullshiat ), its how you win big pots.
It didn`t work out this time but I like the flop call very much.

Three handed I raise the flop most of the time but just calling is fine too.

The major reason why I love calling on this hand is that there is no chance of the villains checking behind on the turn if a safe card comes out. Gotta love position.

Against a set, there are only 7 cards that can kill you on the turn. So ~85% of the time the turn card will be safe. Using this technique, you may be able to stack a King flush by the river where a flop raise may scare him off.

Question for everyone... if a safe card comes on the turn and everyone checks to you, what do you bet? I lean toward 3/4 pot.

I have a metagame question for OP. Have you shown any raise bluffs against these players? Something that would allow them to call or reraise a raise because clearly no one would ever raise with flopped nuts.

I think I'm the opposite. But you should certainly mix it up.

You are ~500bb deep, did you get there against these 2 players? If so, have you showed a wide range of play or pretty much playing nuttastic? If Villan, esp BB thinks you would try to shove him off with position and stack, I raise the flop for sure as you might very well get called by a lesser flush. If BB would only put you on the nuts if you raised the flop, I think you played it perfect.

I think the opposite is true.

This hand's completely standard. If SB had led the flop and BB called, then you'd have more reason to fear a set and raise, but as is, you appear to be against a flush that will pay you off if you just call and you have no reason to believe that SB has any kind of hand here.
