All in w/ flushes on paired boards -- philosophy
I had just taken a bad beat from a shorty, hadn't been able to top up yet.

Final Pot: $78.55
A) Do you think I won this pot?
B) How would you have played it?
c) What is your thinking process when you have a flush on a paired board?
d) Do you ever play a low flush?
You beat:
Trips, lower flushes.
But I would question how many players will go all in with just trips -- are we really only beating lower flushes, or do you encounter many people going all in with just trips w/ good kicker? Do you consider my play here dangerous, or standard?
I would think we'd be wanting a pot size no greater than 1/2 a stack, otherwise we're usually beat. Obviously it depends on your opponent.
Thoughts?
