Default calling or folding a raise representing a flush

villain just sat down. figured a fold would be too weak-tight, was my play right?

Looks great.

It looks like he tried to bluff you out on the scare card. Make a note of this if he did and be prepared to see the river more with made hands when you are one on one with him.

A good note under his name would be something like "bluffed on a scare card(flush), be aware".

Looks good.

As you move up in limits, be prepared to see this type of play much more frequently. Usually happens on the river for me, however.

I'd 3-bet the turn. Instead, MP2 employed the free show down play on you. Stay aggressive when you have good reason to believe you're ahead. Don't start seeing monsters.

You're only saying this because you saw MP2 check the river.

I don't 3-bet this turn.

No, I'm saying that because I have top pair with the best kicker. I'm not going to be afraid of a flush or two pair in this situation.

QJ is a definate probablity here. I would only 3-bet if I had the A of spades in my hand.
