i've heard that any flush is often good HU, but in this spot too?

Hi. I think bet pot size on the flop for protection and value vs many villains. If we get raised we are probably behind and our FD is rarely good (there are only 3 live diamond cards that our 8d beats). For that same reason I think folding the river is correct. 5 better flushes beat us and we only beat 3.

Hi hvard92

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: Who said that any flush is good HU? It all depends on how the hand gets played. In this case it's definitely not good.
