Well just as a guideline, I'm trying to use the starting hands and positions from SSH (although I haven't finished the book )and it recomends raising here. Which I guess like some of you mentioned can be dependent on the table. Anyway that's one of the reasons I raised plus my PF raise % has been pretty low and I want to get a little more aggressive PF. I was wondering if I should've bet the turn after everyone checked to my raise I was thining anyone who had something strong would reraise. It seems like on Stars though there's very few people who will check raise or 3 bet a street unless they're a maniac or have a monster. Alot of the times it seems like a check call all the way to the river and people seem to do it even if they just have bottom pair.

Actually a hand like this has gotten me thinking about what I've read in some books on LHE. It talks about how this is a pretty strong hand, having 2 big suited cards and a flush draw (I'm assuming as long as nobody is capping every street). However flush draws have a 35% chance to hit after the flop and you have about an 11% chance of hitting 4 to a flush on a flop. So how are odds like that profitable to play over the long term? Is it the implied odds that makes it pay off?
