    Default flopped a flush, but limped pot + lotsa action

    min raiser is loose-passive, SB and I are solid slags.

    Ultimate Bet
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $0.50./$1.
    5 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $79.95
    CO: $70.05
    Button: $103.10
    SB: $98.50
    Hero: $158.55

    Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is BB with 4 T
    UTG calls, CO calls, Button calls, SB calls, Hero checks.

    Flop: J 8 9 ($5, 5 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $4, UTG calls, CO folds, Button raises to $8, SB raises to $20, Hero???

    What's the best move/plan here?

    No hindsight for the blind.
    I shove and get a call from BTNs 88 and the SBs AcJh. 88 spikes a boat on the turn but I do my little happy dance when the Qc comes on the river.

    I pretty much never fold flopped flushes, and there are so many cards that can come on the turn to kill my hand or my action that I don't want to get fancy here.

    I push. Not a lot of flushes beat you. You have a freak chance of hitting a str8 flush. And people suck. All good reasons to get it in.

    well I've been in a downswing lately and thought this looked like a high variance low ev spot and timed-down/folded. I was also thinking of a recent hand I stacked a flopped Q high flush with my K high in blind vs blind. but still I have a good BR, and this is a rare opportunity.

    anyway they both ended up checking down and similar to halvsame's predictions, min raiser shows Qc Tx, slag showes QTo. I turn off poker, punch something and post here...arrrrg!

    with 4 people in a limped pot this is Axs ALOT.

    that makes sense. I guess it's not bad either way but was frustrating for this hand.

    Shove, you're ahead of so many stuff (straight, set, pair+fd, nfd, etc). You'll also hit your 2-outer 8.4% of the time
