bet more on the flop, and bet the turn. you shouldn't go into calldown mode with hands this strong just because a flush card hits. it misses a lot of value in the long run.

bet the turn FOR REAL. I agree with above poster you always loose value in the long run if you just assume he hits the a straight or flush or whatever when a scary turn comes. This is one of those situations where i bet turn and fold to a big raise

well, if you get raised on the turn, what worse hands do you think are gonna do that? i mean, he has to be calling with something on the flop. sure, every once in a while a guy is just floating with overs and is bluffing you when he picks up the nfd, but that's not going to be very often, and if he has a second best made hand, there wouldn't be much sense in calling flop and raising turn. so, by taking this line you just get less out of hands like 9x but still pay off a huge chunk when you are beat.

bet/fold turn
lead river with 2/3 blocking bet both for value and to avoid a pot sized bluff bet. if raised fold

~$1.4 on the flop, 2/3 the turn and fold to raise

bet more on the flop. between 2/3rds and pot.

bet the flop every time especially when the flush comes. fold to a raise.
