I would fold this preflop, especially if you are just learning the game. You have terrible position and pretty crappy cards.

On the flop you shouldnt exactly be crazy about putting in alot of chips. Basically you have the OESD, and you're not that happy if you make the flush, because there are several people in the hand and there is a good chance someone has a better flushdraw. What you really want on the turn is the nut straight with a flush redraw or a straight flush. Change that qh for the Ah and I play it much more agressively.


I would usually fold this turn to his bet, but aparently the raise worked out for you. Usually I would expect this bet to mean at least a T, or a higher flush than you. I would definitely not be looking for a showdown with your hand. If you get called in this spot, I would check behind on the river, (with the exception of a & or a SF card comming) I would also fold to a reraise or a river bet.
