Sorry, I was a bit cursory earlier. Your aces would be good perhaps half of the time, so allow 1 or 2 outs for that.

It's likely that a couple of the flush outs are dirty (Ks certainly is). So I would count it as, say, 11 clean outs here.

I seriously doubt you have the best hand on the flop given the number of callers. So, I would still play this as fast as poss.

Fair enough. But I think you're a bit pessimistic about the flush outs. The Ks is possibly no good (but is still good against a lot of possible villain holdings such as aces, AK, etc) - but how exactly can any other spade not be good? Any other spade apart from the K gives me the absolute nuts. So giving me 1 or 2 outs for my aces, that makes 12 or 13 outs on the flop.

I take your point about the number of callers, but raising to $10.50 is hardly playing it slow
