    It's painful but you have to fold this.

    Very difficult with no notes/reads but it looks to me that he checked down his flopped/rivered (unless he is cheeky enough to limp with QQ)boat and he has a good read on you for the flush.

    He stuck his entire stack in, which asks questions of your flush.

    He may have made a straight, i believe that if you call this type of bet more often than not you are running into a steam boat

    Like Howard Lederer says, be very careful drawing on a paired board. The bets stink of having a huge hand, he flat calls on the flop, bets almost the minimum on the turn, then reraises you all in on the river. Thats highly suspicious play. Ask yourself, what hands are you ahead of here? I'd say its unlikely that he'd reraise all in with a straight on such a dangerous board, more likely a flat call would be his decision. Other than that, what plauisible hands are you ahead of? Q high or K high flush? Again, the reraise all in seems out of place without a certainty of the nuts.

    A very tricky hand indeed, I'm not too sure about what the opponent might have, I find a straight very unlikely, the only real possibilities are trips, or a boat, and without a read on this guy, I'm leaning towards folding here.

    This all-in bet has me confused, it's a great bet TBH, if he had a boat surely he wants a caller, alternatively he's just trying to maximise his potential winnings against the flush.....

    Bottom line though, without a read at all on the villian, I'd be inclined to fold here, if he only has trips then you'll be able to get his chips later, however if he has a boat, you can't get the chips you call with back......
