looked to me like i was either up against the nutflush or a set turned fh.

i wouldnt fold, if he had a set hes putting in another raise on the flop most of the time

and what about the nutflush or a higher one??

The purpose of the semibluff is partially to disguise your draw, so that you get paid off when you hit. i.e., it's a better line than chase-chase-HUGE BET/RAISE. If successful, then he's not giving you credit for hitting that flush, and thus could be doing this with a much weaker hand than you think.

Don't play mid/low suited connectors or one-gappers if you are going to fold in fear of a higher flush when you hit. You are turning 79s into 79o.

i was more scared of the fh than the flush, if the board hadn't paired i wasn't slowing down much at all.
