You had the nut flush on the flop so you slowplay it to the very end. You played it correctly and probably got the most chips as you possibly could out of that one. You probably couldn't have played it much better. Good Job!

Sure. With your nut flush, the only thing you'd fear with this coordinated flop was Ts9s (straight flush) or trips drawing to pair the board (FH or quads). The remote odds of those happening make it worth the risk of your slowplay. Since in Limit you can't raise post-flop when first to act, it's the only way to increase your winnings.
