? Along the same lines, does the villain put in this much action with a Q-high or J-high flush?
In some places, the nut flush gets expertly slowplayed, the Q high flush won't 3 bet two streets, and the singleton A
gets massively overplayed.
The way our OP posted the hand, you kind of think he lost... but it is pretty rare to run into a live villain who correctly fastplays for value and who doesn't screwplay. Don't hate his chances.
