His stats were like 20/10 or something. Put him on a range.

 I have some noob questions.

So.....what was the idea of playing your starting hand? Did you like that it was suited?

And, if you hadn't hit the FH on the turn, would you have stayed in? Villain did have the nut flush.

TIA

Tight blinds all of them multi-tabling, BN wasn't terribly loose. I win the blinds so much here and force them to give me action. Part of the strategy of a smaller opener and wider open range. Not the biggest fan of Kxs and will often fold, it really depends. I was running under a 15% PFR and was wondering if I was playing too tight.

If he bets a heart I'm done. If he makes a weak looking bet, probably call, maybe re-raise. If he blasts out $60+ I might be able to get away from it. Probably tab over to PT and look-up a couple hands. I'm not excited about my hand given the SB cold-call range for players like that and his min-raise on an action board from a player I would expect to tend to make bigger raises.

I have only been playing for just over a month,so could someone please help me out here please.Now I know the weakest part of my game is knowing how to bet or reading another players bet when the community cards come into play.The way I see villians bet after the flop is he wants to get some value out of the nut flush and wants to keep hero betting.I think maybe villian has put hero on a lower flush and if villian did a big raise it would scare hero out of the pot.Now what I would like to know is this a typical noobs way of thinking or should you take the pot down straight away as soon as you get the nuts.
