    What do you do here? Here's my thinking. The limp preflop could mean anything, although any Ah is likely to raise preflop. I've got a made flush with only 2 outs to the straight flush assuming I'm beat. I figure if he's got a lone heart, he's got 4 less outs than he thinks he does because 2, 3, 4, and 7 are dead. He could be making this play with a slow played AA I suppose, possibly with the Ah. It's $35 more to call. I don't have much of a read on the player, seemed fairly tight, normal player.

    Also, was my flop raise good?
    Thoughts?

    Poorly played on the flop no doubt. I'm interested in your thoughts on the river bluff against someone who check/called a ~1/2 pot bet on a slightly scary turn. Is this a good or bad spot to be pumping my initiative?

    I like Hand 1 if u called

    I dont like Hand 2, a calling station like this will probably not fold a mid pp or a low pair on a board like this for only 6 more. My standard line with your hand is to bet the flop and probably give up if called.
