Raise to $3. This will take the pot to $12 which will probably keep a weak K around. If either player has a flush or thinks you don't have the flush because of your bet, you'll probably see a sizable re-raise from one of them, which would be your cue to turn up the heat by pushing. You can't be beat... enjoy it. Doesn't happen too often.

I'd agree with that, but I might even raise it to $4. $3 is fine though, and it may encourage action from both. Pray for a re-raise.

I agree with raising it to $3-$4.
You were playing 6 handed, why no raise-preflop? It has nothing to do with the hand, just curious.

Nice post. I think the importance of extracting the maximum from a pot is often undervalued in poker.
You’re in a nice place here. 2 opponents. The potential for a straight or flush, their small bets and calls could suggest they’ve been drawing. The player UTG has also been making those suspicious milking bets so you might get a re-raise if he’s been slowplaying a hand that’s now just gone behind.
Making the bet $3-$4 to go seems good. It’s going to take a pretty disciplined player to make a lay down when they’re getting 4:1 (even better if the guy behind calls).

Not that my input really matters now, but I would also bet around $3-$4. Who knows, you might get lucky and have a smaller flush or a straight play back at you...

I wondered the same thing. 6 handed I would raise to $3 preflop. If I missed the flop I probably could take it with a continuation bet.
Anyway, I agree with the raise to $3 on the river. I think they will all fold to the raise though.

It's hands like these I will vary my play on depending on the other players. If I find a LAG at the table who has been in the pot the whole time then chances are I am going to slow down on this and check the river. I want him or someone to bet and then I come back and raise to try to maximize the amount of money I can get out of this hand.
If I feel most of the other players are good and decently tight then I would bet this out and $3.00 into a $9.00 pot should draw at least one call or maybe more.

I want both players in the hand at this point to increase the odds that one of them will play back at me. I think I'd just min-bump to $2 here. I don't think either would fold to this, but it looks like such a weak bet, that I would think the initial bettor may figure you to be trying an amateur steal and perhaps come over top. If you go to $3, you'll probably get one caller. If you go to $2, you'll probably at least have both call, but more of a possibility of a player trying to play back at you. Either way, you've juiced the pot the same amount. Just a theory.

 I agree with BeerWench13. I would probably just min raise to be sure I was called. And like she said - if you are lucky they will play back at you.
The games I play in - if you reraise after a flush hits you rarely will barely get called with anything other than the min raise.
