Re: What I did, and what happened next
 

I s'pose there's little difference, but I'd be much more inclined to play this way if I had overcards. Or one of my cards matched the board, or I had a straight draw to go with it.

But, the more I think about it, the more I see your point.

There's a big difference. You're passing up an equity edge if you're not aggressive with flush draws alone with enough opponents calling you. The situations you're talking about have a bigger equity edge but happen less frequently.

Right. I meant that in this situation (with this number of players) I'd be more likely to play this hard with a stronger hand, but I should be playing both the same. Your point is that with a stronger hand you can play this hard with fewer players as well.
