Set / Straight? Overpair? $14 in the pot after he makes this push, do I call $5?

1: i dont believe him, line makes no sense
2: call

call the first one they are just calling you down the line plus its only another 2.50 to you easy call here I think
call second one also I dint think you can lay this hand down, him have a set doubt it and hes only got a gut shot draw another easy call

Those were my thoughts too... The problem is I just cant see what other hands that I beat he would make this move with. I think my raise is practically an advertisement for my baby flush, and unless he's a complete donk that doesn't see the flush possibility and my big raise into a better and caller, I don't think he min-raises me with nothing. I dont think hes trying to push me off the hand, because a very large percentage of players at this level would never lay down a flush, and most players know this. That being said, I'm still not quite sure what I should do. His call / re-raise is just so weird to me... Unless he intended to slowplay a nut flush to the river and then randomly changed his mind when I re-raised?

Wouldn't I push if I didnt think he had me outflushed? I really dont wanna see another heart bein as I only have the 4..

it could easily be someone overplaying QJ or KT, or be total air since it makes no sense. i push #1

hand 1. With all that action i might raise the flop seen as everyone showed some interest. You either build a big pot to win (sucks a little oop) or you fold everyone. Id just push the turn i think knowing bad opps call anyway and paying a high flush
hand2.
pot odds demand a call
wouldnt be surprised if its a set but i think your good too often.
