Hi, flop re-raise is because I want to make him fold his flush draw. His turn re-raise scares me, so I rather fold. I put him on full house/flush (but that flush wouldn´t be played well, because he hasn´t right odds due to F re-raise, but I guess at NL2 ppl don´t mind this). What do you think guys?

Vs his flop size, I like the raise to get more value and protect our equity. Turn bet/fold is also fine imo. We will often be behind there. I don't think calling would be terrible, though (and folding the river unimproved).

The idea to make him fold his draws is somewhat not right. You want them to pay you.

Well, don´t take it as I would want him to fold, but I want him not to see card for value which is profitable to him.

He has 46:17, which is about 2.7:1. This is adequate on the flop for a flush draw.

You are not playing against a certain draw. You are playing against a range, that in this case very much includes hands like AK, sets, pocket pairs and air. On the flop, the best play against that range is to just call. Only against a flush draw is that raise (not reraise) of yours good. Against every other combo, and there are actually e.g. more sets than flush draws, and many more pocket pairs than flush draws, is a call better.

About the flop raise, I think it's ok, but it would also be ok to just call.

On the turn with trips I like it as played. If villain has one spade, we don't want to give him a free card. I think half the pot was a good size.

Sorry guys, I wrote it wrong about that flop re-raise. I wanted him to pay for his flush draw, but yohan is right, that there are also sets and more combination which beat me, which I honestly didn´t realize. I realized it on the turn, but on the flop I thought only about flush draw. Thank you guys for deeper explanaiton and sorry for that confusion about flop re-raise, my bad :)

When I think about it now: if he has flush draw, he most likely folds to re-raise and only combinations which beats call, right?

He might have folded a weak (non-nut) flush draw, but I doubt it. On the flop he still has plenty of implied odds, so he doesn't need to get 4:1 (or whatever the exact number is (37:9?)) in expressed odds.
