I'll chime in with a few miscellaneous thoughts...
- flop call is clearly correct in my mind, it is not close
- when games are soft (and usually smaller stakes), people with large leaks can do enough things right that they can still win. The problem is they often have a low ceiling on what they can do in poker because the leaks they have, and sometimes even the exploitative things they do that make them crush in their current game are atrocious against better competition but they can't "unlearn" these things very easily.

TDK: you seem like a nice guy, I read your blog and find it entertaining. At the same time, you have a habit of stating things with absolute confidence that are totally wrong. This is both a good and a bad character trait in a poker player. The good is that confidence is important, and it will allow you to "trust yourself" which is huge. The bad is that if you are wrong about the things you think you will do poorly and not know why.
If I go back and read any of the things you wrote about mix games you played at the Rio for example I remember some really poor ideas that you thought were standard. Or your NL bust out from the main that you thought was fine and later ran on Snowie and realized was quite bad. I hope you realize I don't say this to be mean spirited, but to encourage you to try to be confident about things when you are playing, but assume you know nothing away from the table and keep working.
