Yes, I actually missed this flush, but when I saw the showdown I started to wonder exactly what would be able to pay me if I had hit it.
I didn't actually need to get paid much. I got 3.3:1 on the flop and 4.2:1 on the turn. If my flush was good, a small v-bet would be enough to turn a profit. On the other hand, a pretty big part of my opponent's ranges were also fds, some better than mine, some worse. If I lead the river it's likely that a weaker flush will just call and a stronger one will raise, so I lose value there. Even given the odds, is this a muck on the flop?
