Default Re: Is my flush good enough?

If I'm reading the SSHE charts right, this is a preflop fold.

I'm pretty sure that SSHE wouldn't advocate folding this from the big blind against a single raise - the chart might not reflect it, but I think the general sentiment expressed from the book is that you can liberally call one raise from the BB with suited cards, especially ones with minor straight possibilities like our 2-gapper here.

As many have stated, MP1 waking up is certainly either a flush or 2-pair, and the chances that it's 2-pair definitely show that you can't fold here. Not to mention, even if it is a flush, hero's flush isn't THAT low - let's not forget that 8-9 of hearts and to a lesser extent 3-4 of hearts are also hands that people realistically could have here.

The real question on this hand is CO...his presence (and presumably dead money) makes calling down all that much more appealing, but WTF does he have? Maybe just something like J-10 and he's a real moron? I know results posting is bad - you don't even have to say what MP1 had but I'm really curious on CO!
