I'm playing microlimits on ps. I limp with 6 :D 7 :) after 5 others limp. Flop comes 5 :D 8 :club: 9 :club: . I flop the nuts and someone bets, i raise, everyone calls. Turn comes 2 :) , so my straight is still good. somenoe bets i raise again, all five call again! river is k :club: , same better bets again. Should i raise here? I was dead sure someone made a flush. So i just called and about 2 others call. 2 ppl had AJ (for ace high) and two ppl had AK (for pair of kings on river) and i won the pot. Should i have raised and called a reraise in this situation? Remember this is microlimits and ppl are rly bad. Thx.

Check calling the river is fine. 9 times out of 10 someone's chasing that flush. I wouldn't worry about missing a value bet on that board.

it is correct to just call, its called going for overcalls. If you raise, you will make hands that you beat fold, but the bettor may have you beat, and reraise you. Calling will make you the same amount if you're ahead and lose less if you are behind.
