Default Steal attempt flops a flush

I'm not sure if either my opponent or I played this hand so well, but it did sort of amuse me.

On the turn, for better or worse, since neither of us really had done anything to define our hands yet and I was obviously WA/WB (though I had a two-card straight-flush double-gutter), I decided to go to showdown cheaply, planning to call a river bet or bet if checked to. The idea was to avoid paying three bets to showdown when I was beat and also to possibly get one bet out of a non-flush hand BB might have folded on the turn.

I'm not sure this hand is entirely no content. There might be something to learn from it. I guess it illustrates the potential hazards of slowplaying and also of the popular check-call, checkraise flop and turn sequence.

Villain is 35/8/1.1 after over 200 hands.
