Knowing how much donks love chasing flushdraws I really hated this turn. Do I still push?

I'd call here, hope SB doesn't get any more fancy, and pray for the board to pair.

If it doesn't, see what happens on the river.

as long as SB doesn't be an idiot and push over the top you're getting great odds to draw here...and I think you need to draw too.

These 16ers play like retards though so you never know. What in the hell does the SB have??? Jesus these min donk bets drive me out of my mind.

I pushed and everyone folded, was very happy with my play at the time. Then it appeared to me that this was probably a donk play by me, as I will only be called by the flush. No better hand will fold except a horrible played TT. And flat calling might get some more money in the pot on the river.

While I think your anlaysis is pretty good, there is one flaw in your assumption. I think a hand like A/images/graemlins/spade.gif T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif/images/graemlins/heart.gif/images/graemlins/club.gif will also call here.

I'm not conceding that your pushing here is good. Just pointing out the little less obvious.
