Not a standard raise no, but it's a pretty solid SC, 5 handed. I'll pick up the blinds here quite often too on some tables. Basically anyone who's paying real attention (probably nobody is though) will notice players like me raise a lot from the button but not much from EP. So EP raise = monster. I like to mix that up just a little bit, to make sure not all my EP raises are with monsters, but on some tables this would be an instant fold for me.

As for the hand, very donkish call, very donkish resut, i hit the flush. I definitely need to learn to fold this if I'm to improve, plus calculate pot odds on the spot. My thoughts were "Well I have a lot of outs, call"
