You're joking right? Worrying about a str8 flush here is simply playing weak and will lose you A LOT of $ in the long run. If he has a str8 flush: well that's just bad luck. PUSH! If he has a flush he may even come over the top of you (especially at that low of a level). To reiterate: PUSH! PUSH! PUSH! DON'T WORRY ABOUT A STR8 FLUSH! PUSH! PUSH! PUSH!

oh dear, no way you can be afraid of the straight flush there, and no way I'm not raising on the river.

Push approx. 10 dollars into a 2.7 pot? What does that accomplish? You will rarely get called with that size of a bet. Why not make it 3 bucks or so.

raise turn, raise river, never worry about a straight flush

By push I didn't mean push all in. I meant raise. I should have worded it differently.

Oh okay yes then I agree. To OP, you cannot be scared of a straight flush here. If you were never ever scared of a straight flush for as long as you play this game im sure you will not have a problem on your hands.
