Default Re: Overcards + Flush draw Hmmmmm

I don't like the re-raise one bit. Presumably, you re-raised to 1600 to take the pot from him right there, as there is really no value in putting in the raise. But if you think you can take the pot from him on the flop, why not just call his raise to 450, see a turn, and if you miss, try to check raise him there. You are leaving yourself with tough decisions by re-raising on the flop. If he folds, then great. But he could re-raise, which puts you in a very uncomfortable spot. But even worse, IMO, is if he just calls. Then the turn play becomes troublesome when you miss. I believe you have to fold for all his chips here though. Sure, you have 6 overcards, but they might not be good. I would consider them as 3 outs, plus all the flush cards, so not getting the odds to call.
