When a flush draw comes on the turn of a paired board, I proceed with caution. Now nut hands are threatened and opponents likely improved. I check/call more than raise, especially with overpairs, because a made flush on the river would destroy me.

In general, it's best to err on the side of caution when facing a flush draw.
 
When a flush draw appears on the turn in online poker, adjust your approach by assessing the board texture, opponents' tendencies, and your position. If the flush draw completes on the river, be cautious with vulnerable hands. If the draw misses, consider betting for value or bluffing. Adapt your strategy to the circumstances, opponents' likely holdings, and the overall strength of your hand.
