To go broke here would be really bad (unless you have a read that you're playing a real clueless LAG donk) so if you would perhaps you need to re-evaluate that.
In a deeper stacked game, especially, you need to be careful not to reopen the pot with a nut flush if you think an opponent with a lower flush is less than likely to call and if there's a straight flush possibility on board. It really sucks to then get re-raised for 300BBs or something. But you can save yourself some chips in smaller stacked games too, once it's been raised and re-raised, especially if you (as he was here) are up against a tight player and have both the nut and 2nd nut flush covered.

You may think that this ended good for me, but how in the hell does he not go bust here with the K high flush? This guy had just made a river reraise with a J high flush on a paired board about two hands earlier. The way I see it, he owes me $25 more bucks.
For about the last two weeks, I have either had my hands not paid off or had the hand to pay off someone (have I mentioned that I lost with a str8 flush?) or been outdrawn in the big pots (Me AKQ10 Villian Q1088 Flop QQ10 and I got felted).
Does anyone not go bust here in this situation? I will start the vote by saving that I do minus some incredible read.
Tom
