I frop a frush

Half-stacked PL08 $50 for a short while because no $25 tables open. One interesting hand came up.

Ultimate Bet Pot-Limit Omaha/8, $.50 BB (8 handed) Ultimate-Bet Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)

BB ($94.50)
UTG ($14.45)
UTG+1 ($10.80)
MP1 ($21.85)
MP2 ($69.90)
CO ($38.05)
Hero ($24.25)
SB ($48.25)

Preflop: Hero is Button with ,,,.
2 folds, MP2 calls $0.50, CO calls $0.50, Hero calls $0.50, SB completes, BB checks.

Figured I'd see a flop with this. I have a suit to the ace, broadway, and the 9 works with the QT as well.

Flop: ($2.50) , ,
(5 players)
SB checks,
BB bets $2.5, MP2 folds, CO calls $2.50, Hero calls $2.50.

I flop the nut flush. How should I play it? I figured the BB probably has a lower flush or set, and I didn't want to make my hand obvious. There is a low draw out there but I'm going to take my chances and wait for a blank turn.

Turn: ($10)
(3 players)
BB checks, CO checks,
Hero bets $7, BB calls $7, CO folds.

BB checks, didn't see that coming. I make a $7 "stab" at the pot, and he calls. I still put him on a set or small flush.

River: ($24)
(4 players)
BB bets $5, Hero raises to $14.25 (all-in), BB calls $9.25.

Harmless Jc comes on the river and he weak-leads for $5. I wait about 15 seconds and then hit the all-in button. He calls.

Final Pot: $52.50

Results:
BB has Js Ks 8s 4d (High: flush, king high).
Hero has 9s Qc As Td (High: flush, ace high).
Outcome: Hero wins $49.90 with flush, ace high.

Damn, second nut flush was a lot better than what I expected him to have. Very surprised he checked the turn and tried to block the river with that hand. Still got the money though, and a flop raise seems to have a much better chance of scaring him off instead of going into check/call mode.
