knowing the amount of the pre-flop raise would be helpful, I might push this flop because of your somewhat smallish stack.

Preflop raise was $10.

Raise flop to pot, check the turn if you don't hit. River plays itself. You are probably trailing right now and getting a better flush draw to fold would be a good thing here. You want it heads up with Mr. AQ.

Potting the flop and playing further is not an option. Pot is $80 by the time it gets to hero and he has only has $85 left. This is all in or fold. I'd need a good read that my flush draw is good to move in b/c I think you've got little or no fold equity against either opponent.

hmmm, with $70 in the pot on the flop, UTG bet's $25? I can't put UTG on top pair with a bet like that unless he has top pair no kicker.

he might be drawing to a higher flush here.

I'm all in.
This is what you're hoping for calling raises with SC's isn't it? Pair+flushdraw or straightdraw+flushdraw puts you ahead of alot of hands
