honestly, I c/f flop. even if you're winning, you're vulnerable to a lot of cards, and if you make your flush, I think you're only getting a lot of action from bigger flushes, and extracting little value from hands you're beating. I think you're looking at tremendous reverse implied odds here.

I see your point, thanks.
The flop c/r was more for info. I still thought it was likely that he was on a big spade. And picking up additional outs on the turn kept me around.

c/f flop is really terrible in this, a steal/defense situation.

c/r for info is equally terrible. i mean, he 3bet you, but you call down anyway, so what "info" were you hoping to get?

i like the flop c/r, but it's for value, protection, and occasionally to fold out a 99/TT.

i like the river lead because he is checking behind with a lot of worse hands that he would call with (overpairs, AJ). i guess you should fold to the raise, but that's tough against an unknown when the pot is reasonably large.

also, why don't you switch to a converter that doesn't think your hands are NL hands and that provides useful pot size information.

Yeah, I meant "for value". LOL.
Anyway, after that faux pas I can't get away, right?
