I'm getting ready for a big session tonight and don't want anymore hands like this. Can I get away from it on the turn? That could be a leak of mine for sure.
And what about the river? Do you call that last bet?

Uhhh, on the turn you are only behind A-J on the turn, so I don't think you should have folded there. And I guess you could call a bet on the river, I don't know if you would ever win though.

I play the turn the same way, and I . . . I just can't get away on the river for one bet. I folded one time with the sucker straight in a situation like this and found I would have picked up the whole pot -- it was 2-pair betting and top pair calling.

So I am cursed to call the river in these situations from now on. Getting 16:1, it's not a huge leak.

okay, for some reason I was thinking a 3-flush hit on the turn. still, calling the river isn't THAT bad is it, especially 6-Max? oh yea, dcvDP is horrible

Raise the flop?

I'm playing this strong from the getgo. Raising/betting the flop, and betting until the river, or until someone gives me a reason to slow down.

yes, I think you should bet to 3bet/cap flop. i'd get at least another raise in the turn after that.
