looks good.

the only thing going through your mind here when you hit your flush is how to extract the most value out of this hand.

Vs some players you are best to just call and keep all of his bluffs in on river, and jam then.

Vs others you are best to raise small or jam the turn.

You got the chips in with the best hand, and he just happened to also have near the top of his range, but it's just a cooler really.

weak game, debriz I think you have a gambling problem, you should stop and start playing micro stakes, because you obviously do not play these buy-ins before, you're just wasting your money.

I see no problem with that play... You had a monster hand although the other guy had quite a few outs but must have feared he was behind and paid dearly to confirm that fear...

very few hands will ever call that turn jam, only a flopped set or nut flush. i think it would have been better if you have bloated the pot on the flop

I'm not in love with the shove on the turn. What was your goal with that bet?

Like the guys said above. The shove on the turn was excessive a generally the only hand you beating was that and AA. Seems you got lucky but next time think of playing it differently

Avoid opponent's flush draw on the river, with A,K,Q, hearts holding.. 885 pot is not bad..but he call and I'm at risk, just realize later he has too many outs, pair the board and hearts. Well, I don't know his hand before shoving. If I just raise his bet on the turn and he re-raise me or all-in before me, I might surely fold, scared of higher flush. I got only Jack high flush, a re-raise on this stake is rare.

The jam on the turn is fine.

Opponent has only ~2K behind and anything you raise, as long as it isn't a min raise, practically forces opponent to shove all in, in which you'll have to call. Folding to their 3bet shove would be bad at this point, so if you think they might shove to your raise and you're going to call, get it in first.

Calling the turn bet is not an option at all because it's very likely we have the best hand at the moment. There are a lot of turn cards we don't want to see, especially another heart. At the same time, there are a lot of cards the opponent doesn't want to see on the river because it'll kill our action. Lets say they are drawing to a higher flush draw, if the river is a brick, they check/fold to our bet and we lose value on our hand. So, our best option is to shove and either pick up the pot or hope the opponent has some type of hand worth calling while they're behind.

-The worst case scenario is they have a higher flush. Oh well, it happens.

-Decent case scenario is you currently have a better hand and they're drawing to a better one. Depending on their hand, you're ~60%-85% to win if they have some type of better draw.

-Best case scenario is they called with a smaller flush, are drawing to a smaller flush, or are just completely beat (ex: they have AA, no hearts)
