Straight Flush on flop, scary turn

    I am 3rd in chips in a home game, haven't had a great run of cards and have been raising in position with suited connectors and fresh air but the flops haven't been kind to me and attempts to cbet have always been called. I'm on ~1500 chips, villain has around 2300. Blinds are 10/20

    I'm sitting on the button with 8h9h, UTG+1 raises 5xBB of 20 to 100 which is a raise I have only observed him make when he has had aces in the past (his usual raise is minraise on a bluff and ~3BBs with AK, KK, QQ, JJ etc). I call and the flop comes QhThJh. I called because I thought I would be able to represent a set should a jack, queen or king hit the board as I've noticed that he is too quick to put people on premium pocket pairs and has often been pushed off his strong hands!

    He leads for a bet of 150 and I reraise him to make it 400 for him to play, he thinks for a bit and calls. My guess was that he was putting me on a set and being scared of the flush. The turn comes down Kh and instantly he pushes all-in! I know that there's too many hands he could have that I'm beating. Straights, sets, flushes but my read was Aces and surely his instantaneous push means he has a higher straight flush as I couldn't see him pushing a straight with 4 hearts on the board? Can I justify folding this?

    I agree this is a snap call now but what's wrong with the call preflop?

    calling 5xbb with 75bb stacks when you put the guy on aces isnt a great idea.

    stacks need to be way deeper for this to be profitable.

    fair enough I would have thought it was marginal in positiion if the OP reckons he can push him off

    Just seen the edit and I am probably losing money here 100bbs deep cos it's something I would do

    if he has you on a set then he can't be behind with a straight on this board I also think that he has to put you on a range of hands rather than just a set so I snap call this

    1200 in pot, you've got 900 behind and he open pushes after you showing aggression on the flop.

    Given what you have it could be the best played straight flush ever, but I can't see that being a good way for him to extract value from the absolute nuts.

    I called and he just grabbed the pot, he had AsAh.

    would this be a bad beat in the SE or the fitz?


    apparently the winner must use 2 hole cards, which sucks for a guy with bottom straight flush like this
