I have a question about 5th street. I often catch a straight or a nut flush by 5th street, and find myself facing a paired board. If I bet out with the made hand, and get raised, is it always correct to call and not reraise? I mean if I disregard the full house possibility every time with a nut straight or nut flush, is it +EV? I find myself always calling and feel like I'm not maximizing value. I often have the winning hand. Did I answer my own question?

It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?

Reads are everything in these spots. In small stakes games, I'm more inclined to 3-bet because there are so many donks. That said, I think looking for a hard and fast rule to follow every time is -EV, or at least less +EV than trying to make good reads.

What A'aag said. This is very situational, and I think there is no universal answer. Some factors I would consider would be:
1) Who raised? If it was a new villain (let's say the guy betting the whole way just called your bet, and someone else raises), I think you have the best hand (especially if your flush/straight is the nut flush/straight).
2) A straight is usually less obvious than a flush. I give more respect
to someone who raises when a flush card hits.
3) Finally, do you stand to gain more by just calling? Let's say you bet
the river, get 3 callers, and someone raises. By just calling, you stand
to gain up to 3 more bets from the callers. By raising, you may force
the callers to fold, and worse yet, will definitely get capped by a boat.

If 5th street pairs the board and you hit a straight or flush at the same time, think back on the flop and turn. You will see a boat here almost every time if you have two or more people capping the flop and/or turn with their set(s). If not, you are good for a reraise but I agree with the earlier posters that a call is better with the possibility of overcallers.
