Did I misplay this hand? I raised the flop to try to protect it, then picked up the flush draw on the turn. I put the guy behind me on either a straight or an overpair, but I didn't know what the other guys had. Should I not have raised the turn? I wanted to drive out any overpairs if the guy behind me was overplaying a draw.

Was the Villian typically aggressive post-flop? Would he bet/raise on a draw? At low levels, most players don't seem to like to reraise unless they have something, unless you're up against a maniac that trys to bluff people off hands.

Anyway, flop is fine. You raise to define/protect your hand, and he reraises you. You have 15 to 1 pot odds to call the raise, so as long as you have three or more outs, you're good.

I would call the turn, not raise it. The reraise in the flop and the Villian betting out on the turn tells me top pair is no good. However, you've picked up the nut flush draw, so you want to see the river as cheaply as possible. The pot's pretty big, so this guy isn't going to fold to aggression.

If I don't improve, I cut my losses and dump the hand on the river against a bet.

If I had to guess, I'd put the opponent on a flopped set, flopped straight (holding 45s), or possibly a two pair.
