    I simply led out. Do you lead more than I did if you lead? Then what about the flush turn, after he called the flop?

    I like leading out with a good bet here. I think the size of the bet is fine too.

    On the turn, I like to lead out. He might be scared that you have a flush. If he raises, I'm not sure. He's a very big stack too. At this level, I could imagine him floating you with anything really..maybe something like KQ and thinking that if he makes a pair he'll be ahead.

    sorry...that wasn't necessarily coherent but just some ramblings.

    Early position 4 others still in the hand and a great flop for you, I would price out the draws and because of the early possition try to take it down now, pot size bet on the flop $400. As played on the turn I would bet half the pot about $400 -$450 and try and check it down if called.

    The flop lead is good, obviously. As played I'd fire out 480 on the turn and fold to a shove. If he flats turn, I c/c most rivers that aren't a deuce or spade to a standard bet size. A lot of players will flat the flush on the turn here and overshove river when checked to, so if he does that you probably have to fold with no read.

    Im thinking this guy limped in with a medium pair, didnt hit the flop and thinks you didnt hit the flop either. I also dont think he had a flush draw because the pot odds were terrible to make that call. He just wanted to see another card. You should lead in with a pot size bet here....you probably still have the best hand and you will represent the flush.
