It's not worth to call that bet on the flop, most likely you just have 1,5 Outs on your runner runner flush and max. 3 outs on your ace.
Just fold this one on the turn for such a small pot.

Just remember SH isn't that different, you just play as everybody would have folded to MP2. Don't make the mistake to play LAG just because it's not FR, you're still a TAG, the only way to go.


Thank you for answer.

It began terrible. I played like a maniac an lost ca. 15 BB. But then - dont know what happend - I won 35 BB until I stand up from table.

Should I not play looser in sh?

An important rule ist: no open limping!
So you're call preflop was wrong because there was just one player in the pot before you. Raise or fold are the only 2 options here. In this case it's fold.

The rest of the hand was really good.
