First hand, I post from CO.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums) saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font> <font color="#C00000">MP2 ($202.60)</font> <font color="#C00000">Hero ($200)</font> Button ($233.30) SB ($138.80) BB ($146.75) UTG ($80) MP1 ($239.70) Preflop: Hero is CO with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $2. UTG posts a blind of $2. UTG (poster) checks, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls $2, Hero (poster) checks, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, BB checks. Flop: ($10) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font> SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets $4</font>, MP2 calls $4, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $20</font>, SB folds, BB folds, UTG folds, MP2 calls $16. I think the raise is fine, but what do I do if someone pops it? I guess just start calling down is right. Turn: ($54) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> MP2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $35</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to $180.6</font>, Hero calls $143 (All-In). Should I check through here and call a river bet (or bet if checked to)? Given I bet, his play is more consistent with the nuts than a smaller flush. I still have to call, though, correct? Thanks. |

Looks 100% standard to me.

Looks good. If I know the players a huge nit I may fold to the river Check raise, but this is fine.

Let me ask a more general question then. When, if ever, are you trying to keep the pot small with a non-nut flush.
For example, if he minraises me on the turn, it would be slightly more optimal to call and then call his push on river, right? |

No, you want all your money in on the turn. Too much can happen on the river -- a fourth spade, the board pairs, etc.
If you push after the mini-raise and Villain folds, you've still taken half his stack at minimal risk. That's hardly chopped liver. Then again, I'm horrible at extraction so take the above with a huge grain of salt. |
