I think you have the best hand here, he probably hit his ace with weaker kicker. I would probably push.

With the K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], this is a push.

Dunno, am I the only one that feels it wouldn't be so bad to just call this and re-eval on the river? That ace was basically the worst card possible - complete every possible draw in one shebang. What two pair/pair is doing this? A lone king bluffing it doesn't seem too likely. Not a lot of two pair their except maybe AT or KT, but against a tight opponent this can be ruled out. No lone ace will peel off the flop bet on this type of board. Hero has the nut flush draw. Everything else you beat folds out... push doesn't seem like it accomplishes anything.

No you really cant call this and re-eval the river cause the bet is too big. You need to put it all in or fold.

Default Results:

Hero pushes. Villian calls with a flush. River is a brick.

Still I like my turn push. I'm beating some hands that would call here. And even against his flush I had a 25% chance to make a fullhouse/higher flush on the river. Ah well.
