Call the AI or fold

I am stuck using Pokerhand now

Because everyone hates UB.

As for a read on the villian, PT put him at pretty loose passive/passive. He was a straight who goes broke with TPTK. His play seems way too aggresive for a made flush at this level. They would slowplay the hell out of it. I was pretty sure he was trying to push me off, if I was drawing to say the Q of hearts (say I raised w/ QQ). I threw in a raise pre-flop to define my hand and to switch up my play. They had seen me raise w/ nothing but SUPER premium hands out of EP.

Afterwards, he said he thought I was on a high pocket pair or the ace of hearts, missing one heart.

You have to call the all-in. You committed yourself to the pot by calling the flop and he isn't raising this much with a flush, he's raising the flop this much to protect against the flush.

Yes, call the all in for the reasons the_alex mentioned.

I think you should push the flop after he raises you, he's pretty likely to have a heart in his hand and you don't want to get it in on the turn when another heart falls.

standard.

all on w/ 3 flush means nothing.

more likely it is a draw, so call is very standard.

Like alex said, definitely call, I dont think he is drawing here, it is most likely TPTK protecting against the flush. Set beats TPTK so you call.

woo woo! Thanks for the comments gents!

Of course I got berated by 3 donks at the table for calling. But the raise out of EP w/ 99 made them suspicious of any raise I made out of EP. I ended up stacking 1 of them, when he pushed w/ KQ after I had 4bb raised my AA in UTG.
