Also...I lead the flop here 95% of the time, just one of those times I didn't

Bet the flop.

Go all in.

Seriously I think you need to bet this flop 110% of the time.

Now to the river, just shove button will show up with a set 80% of the time here a lower flush 17% of the time and you will be beat 2% of the time.

1% is withheld for pokersite crashing randomly.

lead the flop 100%...

[Ap0calypse]

Ok, honestly with my aggression I really lead there about 99.999% of the time. I don't know if I was involved big at another table or what, but I know check there against a semi passive player is a mistake.

Ap0calypse, can I ask you a question.

Whenever I am looking over some of my hand histories and I see something like this I ussually find I am not playing my best a simple slip up like this will cost us a lot of money in the long run.

I just find myself saying, I do this "X%" of the time but this time I didn't. I know poker is a game of it "depends". When in fact I am not playing to the best of my abilities. (too many tables or just not focused)

What exactly is the question? I'm confused

Sorry I ran off on a tanget.

Were you tilting when this hand went down, playing not with a clear mind. I find myself personally when I make minor slip ups like this I am just not playing optimally.

[Unknown Soldier]

the thing about flop check is that you are giving up some value as you will probably be able to get 3 streets of value out of a worse Q (on alot of boards anyway)

Lead the flop, and your flush is good 96.5 % of the time so push all in
