top two pair and nut flush draw on flop, no reason to think aces, i happily shove it in.

I have to agree. Aces are the only hand you really have to worry about. If you're up against a set of 9s, you are only a slight dog, and there is enough money already in the pot to cover that. You're favored against just about anything else, even bottom set (unless there are a lot of hearts out).
On the other hand, with a pretty decent bet followed by an all-in raise, you might have to think the AA was out there.
The guy going all in with just a king high flush draw, on the other hand...
I guess that might depend on how the game was being played up to that point, but that certainly looks like a poor play. If gamecockspur had been playing like this previously, that would also make the A9 re-raise make more sense BTW.
