Winrate over 180 hands means less than nothing.

You converted it wrong, go for 2+2 next time.

The 5 on the turn is a great card for you, as it keeps your opponents from improving. I would bet this turn and check behind on the river, folding to any aggression. This way you get value from club and straight draws, as well as anything just fishing for a pair.

I like betting the turn. We're heads up, in position, with a good chance to take down the pot for a bet. It's a semi-bluff with lots of outs to improve on the river.

Guruman has a great thread in the Digest about betting the turn with a flush draw. However, the notable difference is we have an A-high flush draw AND we're heads up; thus, our folding equity in this situation is much higher than in the other thread.

River... meh. I think I'd like a little more confidence in my read that SB is a psycho nutter moron to call down with A-high... but there are information/metagame considerations so I don't think the river call or no-call matters that much.
