Only thing I do different - lead the turn, then call down if 2-bet there.

I definitely wouldn't call the river if raised after leading the turn. but i'd definitely lead the turn.

I think I call in SB here, but if i was running bad I may fold. After calling, I may go for check raise on the flop if the situation is right but AJ OOP with EP limper and LP raiser is poop, imo.

I don't play at these limits but I'll give it a shot.

I don't like the flop 3 bet. You have BB and UTG who might throw some dead money into the pot and your raise scares them away. I don't know how many hands you have on villain, but at 1.6 AF he often has at least a K here. Why not let him do the betting for you as you draw for your nut flush?

If you decided to 3-bet the flop, you have to bet out on the river esepecially with this harmless 8.

I guess calling the river is fine since you really have almost no idea where you stand and the pot is quite large.

I lead the turn because I don't want him checking though a worse hand. I'd c/c the river because I don't feel comfortable folding to a raise.

Are you serious? If you are running bad, why would you fold a hand this good? That's horrible advice.

Its fine imo. I would probably lead the turn but I dont think it matters. You might get one more bet in then, should you hit your flush.

Pre flop and flop Id do the same.

Id bet the turn and most likely call the river, with it being a big pot.
