    ok i need some critical advice on this play because plays like this determine whether or not i always win "big" or go home losing a little of my own money or break-even for a 5+hr. night:
    Game: $2/$5 NL ($200min./$400max) B&M
    Im in the 6th seat with Q,J- some donkey big stack in seat 3 (utg) mini-raises to $10... 6 callers to the flop:
    Flop: 8,9,10 (2 hearts)... BINGO NUTS!!!
    SB bets $20... BB, UTG, seats 4 & 5 all call , now me last to act.... i raise all-in? (reasoning: Flush chasing donkeys all-night, plus i really wanted what was in the pot $160 with no action; or atleast hoping)
    SB-$740
    BB-$185
    UTG- $835
    UTG+1- $350
    UTG+2- $230
    Hero- $678
    SB thinks 4-ever folds, BB insta-calls, UTG folds, +1 folds, +2 Calls.......
    now knowing all-this what hands can u put these two on, and if i could've played this out any other way?? i did manage to get 2 all-in calls when i am way ahead..... $1253 total pot now.... but i also have some more questions later on but lets get to this specific detail then i will ask other related issues regarding Mr. SB

    Anyways long story short BB (9,10) and UTG +2 (Kh,7h)
    turn 4c
    river 5H... FCUK!!!!

    P.S- SB had 6,7 hmmm maybe i could've got some of his money??? BUT how do i go about getting him into the action w/o giving everybody else odds to call.

    Man, i know this is shitty and all-over the place.. but i tried to include all the pertinent info. and clean it up as best as possible. Plays like this really frustrate me and im constantly in them always with me holding the Nut Stra8... im starting to hate stra8's against flushes/FH, i rarely win these races!!!


    After Reflecting on this i should've done this:
    -Raise to $70-90 and hope to get re-raised, now knowing everything that would've been great cause Mr. SB had "baby stra8" and surely would've re-raised me. anyways that would also get more money into the pot and when the turn hits and its a blank with One card left i dont know if flush chasers have the odds to still call an All-in with one card left?? or am i way off on this thought of how i could've played this hand??

    hmmm... im guessing ur saying play a little with that raise and then hit it and who knows if SB comes in then?!?! i like that, but i got a little absent-minded with the amount of flush chasers at that table all-night.
