Default should you worry about the straight flush?

6 handed part Poker 50 dollar tables.
Stack sizes are all 50. All players pretty average, kind of loose.
I flopped the ace-high flush and pot the flop, I get 2 callers. The flop has a straight flush draw if my opponent has 9Q of clubs.

The turn is a blank and I pot the turn and get one caller.

The pot is now 15 dollars, I bet out 10 hoping to get a king high flush to pay me off, he re-raises all-in.

I called expecting to see the straight flush and he didnt disappoint. Does anyone check the river and prepare to call off a pot sized bet? Or is this like a NL holdem set over set scenario where it happens so rarely that you should just expect to lose a stack when you run into it?

thoughts?

Unless it's very deep stacks I never stop to think about Villain having straight flushes or quads. The times he does and you loose your stack are easily cancelled out by the times you see an underfull or 2nd flush.

You should just be ready/willing to lose a stack here, unless it is a very, very deep stack. Even with a deep stack, you are probably going to play the same, but just call the river reraise, rather than repotting with the nut flush.

This is a no brainer at 100bb 6 max. As said if you both had 200+ bb stacks it would be better to just call

ya you cant really worry about the straight flush.. although as im typing this, the table im playing at just had 2 in a row. Worst part is, the same player lost both hands with the nut flush
