Just one more thought. Should the sixth street call have been a raise with the flush? I think a flaw in my game has been being too pessimistic at times. Odds against a same-suit flush were extremely remote, but in my mind I feared it. Obviously he was check-raising with a nice lo, and I probably should have jammed it. I do think it was a bad call on fifth though in hindsight. Pot is small, looking at a paired doorcard (despite the other 5 being out there) and a three-lo. In a later hand I layed down a pair of queens on sixth with a four-flush and two pair won with no lo, but there were scary boards and the pot was small. I know full well stud 8 is all about the scoop, and why I called here I'm not sure. But feedback is appreciated as always.
