Re: Ace King - So i miss the flop again
You missed the flop completly here. You don't have any runner runner draws really, except picking up a gut shot on the turn. And you may even be reverse dominated. If the better has ace jack or king...

Re: what do you think?
I don't think that question really makes sense. If you are playing "loose" then you are playing a lot of hands. You don't "tighten up" when you get a big hand, you play it aggressivesly.

Re: Correct amount to bluff?
Obviously you wouldn't be representing a flush in hold'em if there isn't a flush available. But if you are chasing a straight, and the flush hits, you can bluff that, or vice versa.
