I felt he had a small flush I could make him fold with that large of a raise.

So the general consensus seems to be raise about 1k on the turn (rather then 500), and then bet about 1,000 or 1,500 on the river, and fold to a raise? That seems to me like it would have been better then what I actually did, and that is the kind of advice I was looking for. Thanks guys

No problem Murf. I do think you need to reevaluate your feeling (if you still feel that way) that a small flush will fold to the rereaise. I feel this is not true, ESPECIALLY because you are in a free roll where there is no vested interest. Most players are not there to make big phil helmuth type laydowns. They are there to gamble and maybe win the big prize, whatever that may be.
