Great HU hand for discussion

I think if you make your flush, it has a good chance of holding up.

Whether you make your flush or not is irrelevant. It won't change the probability of having the best hand much at all. Either you opponent has an ace/a king, or he doesn't. If he does, a flush won't help you. If he doesn't, then you have the best hand and your opponent is drawing to at most 4 outs (gutshot).

I think I might check here and call the river no matter what card falls. Only because our opponent is drawing mighty slim or dead if he's behind so I don't mind giving a free card too much. Then when we show weakness perhaps we can pick off a bluff.
