I'm playing 6-handed, $0.5/1 100 max NL. I haven't been at the table long so they can't read me for being as tight as I am. I'm on the button and the first three players limp, I have Q-7 hearts and think 'I'm going to flop a flush', I limp, SB limps and BB checks.
The flop comes all rag hearts, I have a flush. checked round to me and I put in the normal $4 bet. SB fold, BB raises to $8, everyone else folds. BB has only $30 left. At the time I thought BB was trying to represent the flush whilst actually having the Ace of hearts.
Facing this minimal raise and the fact that he didn't have a big stack, I put him all in thinking he'd call and wanting to get the money in when ahead.
Anyway, he called and showed A9 hearts for the nut flush. Which I was surprised to see obviously.
I know the immediate response is 'playing 2 sooted cards is a stupid move' and I agree; this is the first time I done/thought this since about a year ago. I'm not trying to claim I'm psychic either. My question is:
Assuming 2 opponents with full stacks at what point do you wonder you're behind on the flop when you've flopped a queen high flush? Do you?
At this level I'd risk my stack every time, I've been called by 1pair, 2 pair, sets, and Ace of that suits many times and it a money maker for me (six handed).
