Quick reads... ridiculously loose table with about 6 people seeing every flop and almost no PFRs. That's all I knew so far.

Final Pot: 22.25 BB

I usually fold AXs lower than ATs up front, but here, the table was simply too terrible and I couldn't resist it. It certainly paid off here. My question is how to tackle the turn when my draw hit.

Here's what I was thinking... if I check and it gets checked around, I'd lose out on 3BBs. I'd absolutely hate that result! And since MP3 loves his hand so much, there's a good chance he'd still raise me on the turn, allowing me to throw in a 3rd bet. Obviously this failed since the flush card scared him.

Was this an easy check-raise situation?
