All you can do is bet more to make your oppponent think about whether or not HIS play is profitable by calling. I think we can all agree it's exploiting your opponents mistakes which makes you money.

In this situation, I would have simply bet more...what if he didn't catch his flush - you make more money of course?

Point is - maximize your profits by exploiting his mistakes...betting more gives him worse odds to call or be more unprofitable. If you give him the odds to call, it quickly becomes profitable for him, maybe not in the long run, but in this hand it affects you (especially if you are betting the same amounts...it gives him btter odds to call as the cards keep coming) and you may not have an opportunity to get your money back.

Stick to quality poker playing, and recognize sometimes guys get lucky. Just make sure when you bet the odds are a factor!
