No reads on villain, only 5 hands. Just ship the flop? At the time I felt I was only gonna get called by better and flipping with my flush draw. Over-complicating things?

Hey DannyG13,

Preflop is fine.

Flop cbet is fine. It's unlikely shipping flop will ever be -EV but seeing as we have a decent bluffcatcher with our draw, flatting is generally best.

Turn check is fine.

River check is fine.

Hi Danny,

Pre flop and flop play is standard. I would never ship the flop cause he holds many sets and better FDs in his range. Calling is the best option as it keeps his worse hands in play.

On the turn, after he checks I would check behind too because your hand is strong, but not strong enough to withstand a CR.

On the river, after he checks I think you can got for a thin value bet here and get called by TJ, 9J and all his 8x.
