looks good to me...
i think that in loose games raising the flop is better than overcalling since many players will call two cold...

Looks fine to me, he will be raising with the K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] or worse far more often than the straight flush.

He has a monster draw here and will be a favorite against most hands. His main goal on the flop should be getting as much money in as possible.
