I would also like to see the odds or number of times one flush loses to another... I don't think it happens often enough for me to be too scared of it... unless someone really overbets /re-raises the river, I almost always call with any flush (only 3 on board).

On the first hand, I like the pot building bet on the flop, but I would usually take the free card on the turn and see the river for as cheap as possible, since the odds of catching the flush are now cut in half.

On the second hand, if the pot is large enough, I bet / re-raise larger on the flop, and may try to be more aggressive with this hand. I feel very confident with a OESFD (maybe too confident sometimes) but this is where I like to flex my semi-bluffing muscle.

8-10 people seeing the flop, is this a live game? I don't think straight up aggression will win you too many pots in these situations. No need to lose chips you don't have to.... I played in a live game like this a couple of times recently, and every raise / bet was for value and to build the pot, never to scare anyone off. If there are that many callers, then chances are you can't get all of them to fold anyway.

Oh, and the lowest SC's that I play are 56s
