    Default I think I played this perfectly...

    PokerStars 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

    Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with , .
    1 fold, Hero calls, 2 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, 3 folds, BB checks.

    Flop: (4.40 SB) , , (4 players)
    BB bets, Hero calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls.

    The reason I call here is that the bettor has VPIP of 12 with PFR of 10. His AF is 0 because I haven't seen him call after the flop. Only bets, raises, and folds. Basically, I'm going for overcalls here. MP2 has AF less than 1 (20% VPIP) and MP3 is a textbook LPP.

    Turn: (4.20 BB) (4 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets, MP2 raises, MP3 calls, BB folds, Hero 3-bets, MP2 calls, MP3 calls.

    This is a great card for me. Puts the flush out there. Original bettor just checks here, so I decide to go ahead and bet. I'm happy how the turn goes. Even losing BB doesn't upset me because he knew at that point he was beat.

    River: (13.20 BB) (3 players)
    Hero bets, MP2 calls $0.35 (All-In), MP3 calls.

    Too bad MP2 went all in. I was hoping he would raise me, but then I realized he couldn't even cover my bet. MP3 does what calling stations do best.

    Final Pot: 15.90 BB

    Results in white below:
    Hero has 5d 5c (four of a kind, fives).
    MP2 has Th Qh (flush, queen high).
    MP3 has Qs JavaScript (two pair, jacks and fives).
    Outcome: Hero wins 15.90 BB.

    Fold preflop, rest looks good. It's not that easy to completely bomb a hand where you flop the nuts.

    Not hard to bomb it, but you still want to extract the maximum from your opponents. I think if I raise the flop, I lose 2 players, BB and possibly MP3 as he had nothing at that time. Also, if I raise the flop, MP2 might not raise the turn. Then again, he might have, his turn raise was kind of fishy anyway.

    NH,

    but when you flop a monster like that it's fairly easy to play it in that fashion. Raising on the flop may have lost one player, I doubt the flush draw is going anywhere and he still probably would have raised. I don't see why you thought the turn raise by the MP player was fishy he hit his flush, thats a pretty strong hand, he also had a Str8 flush gut shot draw.

    That being said I would have probably played it exactly the same way as you did.
