I'm up to $41 now.  It might be a lesson in how I did this.  I joined a very aggressive table but where the players were also playing solid.  So, a tough table -- not many cheap views.  I folded for a long time because I was not hitting anything and played conservatively.  I was starting to question if I should be playing at such table.

Finally I had A-suited and the flop came giving me 4 to my suit.  The initial raiser raised a large amount.  I called.  I hit my suit.  He raised again.  I called.  On the river he went all in: obviously I called and won that pot.  He was playing pocket queens.

This is why I love flush because I'm pretty sure the math didn't warrant my calling.  I had let's say 9 outs or 18% chance to hit.  I'm not sure if a queen was on the board. But I knew if I hit then I could get a huge payoff which I did.

This is why also I question the wisdom about making it "too costly" to draw too cards because that also makes it very costly too fold too.  If there are 2 or 3 to a flush on the board then I will raise a good amount but if I encounter a lot of re-raise or resistance I'm probably out.

Did he play it bad?  Well obviously he was banking on I'd not call an all-in bet without the nut flush which I had.
