didnt u read kits post? i have x-ray vision...

im just saying if u cant call down the J high flush here,than fold on flop

I agree that raising pre is better, and yes, I know why. I never gave any indication that the villain was an aggressive player. He was straight-forward. I peeled the flop because I felt that was the right play given the information I had. Yes, it is hard to be correct enough given the pot odds to justify laying the hand down - but I had enough of a read on the villain that I am 90%+ sure I made the right laydown when he led out. There's no point in arguing that point further.

It's unnecessary to make semi-condescending remarks about my "approach" to short-handed poker. Thank you for your input, nevertheless.

I apologize if the comment sounded condescending. It was meant to highlight with humor the bipolar character of each street with elements of truth to it:

Don't limp the button or CO after a loose/weak player. If you are so sure the raiser is super straight forward and nitty that he won't bet the flop without at least one of the suit then don't call, you are drawing dead because he raised the BB with big cards. If you call and make your hand then don't fold for one bet.

I would raise pre w o thinking about it.

I'd call OTF.

Why did you feel this was the right play?

Because villain had a few non-club hands in his range that he would bet the flop with. Raising had merit too for this reason, but alas, I did not.

What non-club hands are in his range here?

I have a list a few post above.
