Long story short he had Ad.... Should I have just bailed on flop. These monotone flops are hard to play sometimes.

You'll get better responses if you don't include the results in the thread title.

Folding anywhere in this hand would be a mistake.

The "highlight bets and raises" checkbox on the tool is your friend and mine...

Your play is fine. You don't bail on the flop, because unless his ace was suited, he didn't have his flush until the river. At that point the odds are in your favor that he doesn't make it. FNTF.

Okay, thanks for the advice. I thought it would be a mistake too, but wanted to check. Damn ace of diamond....

[burntazure]

thanks. it just sucks though... oh well.

Just remember- more often than not- that diamond doesn't fall and you've dragged a nice pot. His making the calls that he did is +EV for you.

That's the game my man. You played this hand well IMO. Continue to be aggressive, but not crazy. Usually you win here. Sometimes you dont. Don't let it get to you. TAG play wins money.
