what do you guys think of this hand where i bet into the field with a possible flopped flush?

i am playing NLHE with blinds of 0.05/0.10.

2 EP players limp into the pot,

i am in mid position and raise to 0.4 with ,

next to act raises to 0.8, 1 fold, button calls, folds to me and i call.

Flop= the pot is now around$2.75, i bet $3 deciding that if there is a big reraise i will fold.

is this a good bet with a possibe flush, i wanted to deny them odds to draw if they had a single high diamond for example if they were playing any ace.

btw they both folded and then the preflop raiser started asking me what i had and complaining that the software folded his cards when he clicked raise.

I think I would have bet a little less than the pot, but it all depends on the players.

Bet about half the pot here. I wouldn't want to put in a lot on the flop with the possibility of the made flush already. The raise pre-flop could even be an overpair, but apparently it wasn't. You want the Ad calling here, so you don't want the bet to be too large.

I would probably bet about 2 bucks. Half-pot bets are asking to get bluffed at in my expirience.

Your bet says "I've got the queen if you want to draw, pay for it."

The made flush is the kind of beat you have to take (and is unlikely with the preflop action aside from AKd).

I like the way you played it. Half pot and you risk getting reraised by the A or Kd and finding yourself in a pickle.

OK, I lose...3/4 sounds better.

thanks for the replies,

i made the bet the size it was as i found myself in an uncertain position which could get worse depending on the turn card. i would most like to take the pot here as a bad turn card could hurt me or lead to me getting bluffed out of the pot. also i was thinking that a smaller bet could lead to a bad call by MP, giving the button odds to call.

i try to avoid difficult decisions/judgement calls as part of my overall strategy is this the right way to be thinking?
