Default You\'ve flopped the nut flush. Now What?

Playing online (UB) in what they call a Mini. 100 players, $5 buyin, you've played 90 minutes, down to 35 players, you are in 15th. The averages stack size is ~4500, you have 5000. Blinds are 150/300. {This is from memory, but should be pretty close.]

You are in the BB holding [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5 and three players limp. You check and take a free card.

Flop is [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3

The pot size is 1200. You check, check, check and the player in last position (who you have no read on and who has 4600 in chips) bets 1200.

How would you play it?

Altho readless in a $5, you might not be given credit for a fastplay with a leadout. If you're going to c/c, you're risking a check-behind on turn and river. But, again, not in a $5, you'll get value anyway, not maximum value, but good value.

I would check the turn, but not the river.

How would you rate moving all in?

Yes, you'd like to get more money out there, but the pot is $2400 and that improves your likelihood of going deep.

If you slow play it and lose, wouldn't you wish you'd taken it down? Also, who says he will fold?

I like it. It doesn't need to work very often. Overpot bluff with the nuts. Not terribly standard though.
