Seems fine to me. I probably just c/f flop personally but stacks are plenty deep to get a little wonky here and there. Curious what the plan was if he called turn and you don't improve, were you going to give up or fire big on most rivers that don't smash his range?
I would not choose such a line of the game. You do not have cards blocking at least some combination of the opponent. What would you do if the flush closed on the river?
As played on the flop, I get the turn play... we kind of feel like we HAVE to do SOMEthing now, right? But is this even that good of a card to do it on? It's a card that a fair bit of villain's bluff range actually DOES connect with, and I think the only hands we rep are straights, sets, and MAYBE something like Q6s or Q4s. (I don't think we're ever check raising a naked queen on this board for value.)
Why you forgot about the fact that our range has sets, straights, 64s, 42s, Q2s?

Oh, man... sorry, i mean we may have all of sets and streights.Really??

I admire your moxy but I think you have poor hand selection. floating from OOP is tricky and if we are shallower it's easier to check raise than to float OOP. We are fairly deep here so a flop float does work better than it otherwise would (when we don't want to just give up). But I think the far superior play is to just give up. We are facing an EP range. we are getting quite fancy for no good reason.
I want to float with something like 2 overs and a backdoor flush draw, or 1 over and a gutter.
we just have 2 naked overs so I think it's a check fold on the flop.
keep in mind....the backdoors don't simply serve as additional equity....they serve as a limiter....a regulator to keep us from overbluffing. If we don't use backdoors to do this then we have to use some other randomization method and that is A) more complicated and B) less equity than just also having the back door equity.
if I had or I like the float (or CR) a LOT better.
