    I don't agree with this line.

    Normally I would just fold this preflop, but once you get to the flop, I would throw in a probe bet of about 60-90, and see what's going on with everyone.

    I think the turn call is good here, given the odds and outs you believe to have.

    I also think this was a good fold on the river. With so much aggression there I would put one of them on at least a 10 high flush.

    However, the buy in is important here, as well as any reads you have.

    I think I push that river rather than just call it to begin with, as far as folding... meh. It's 1300 into a pot that has over 4500. You need to be ahead about 1 out of 4 times to make this call correct.

    That's where I am meh. It's close enough that I think whatever you do is fine.

    He probably has a higher flush but he could have a lower flush or he could suck and have TQ or a set.

    Meh, I think I call. The check/minraise could be some donkish 2p/set and the initial bettor could have any flush.

    I like preflop/flop/turn.

    I call. I doubt that there is a better FD out there. There could be but I think you are the favorite here more times than not. I see bad players do this when they slowplay their set or two pair and then push the river. Plus, these are the edges that you have to take to increase your stack. If you bust, so what, there's always another tourney opening up.
