Comments on this hand? I probably should have raised the flop, but I wanted to keep as many people in as I could, while still being wary of a flush. Turns out that flop action wasn't the problem, and I couldn't be happier that it looks like everybody got a piece of this board! The turn is very scary for me, but I can't lay this down can I (especially since I now have 8 outs to the SF)? This scenario doesn't come along very often for me, so I really wasn't sure the best way to play it...

You played fine, but for the record it is very difficult to have 8 outs to a straight flush. You had two.

You are probably splitting with SB, or losing to a flush. By calling down the turn raise, you lose less in case you lose, and you collect overcalls from UTG+1.

4 deck poker is under-rated.
