  1. Early no reads,
    It felt to me at the time, Flintsharp had made str8 on turn after calling the raise on the flop,
    Im thinking this might have been a tight fold, although, my hand could be the winner here from time to time.

  2. I think it's pretty tight. I play at these stakes and a lot of times at these early levels people will call raises with rags and when they hit something like a pair and a flush draw on the turn play them pretty hard.

    Often enough to make this call getting 2:1 you'll either be well head or hit one of your four outs on the river to the boat and take all his chips even if he does have a str8.

    At the end of the day, you went with your reads, and thats what you gotta do.
