My favorite hand strikes again. My only straight flush live was with 10 8 suited... so it became my favorite hand. I have now made 4 straight flushes total.

One question.. I sized my flop bet intentionally to commit me no matter what he did. I calculated that I had at least 40% equity... even if I knew he had a set (and I was pretty sure he did when he shoved) I had to call with 3-1 odds. Is my thinking right here?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

BB ($9.30)
UTG ($10.10)
MP ($3.20)
CO ($25.10)
Hero (Button) ($10)
SB ($10.05)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 10, 8
3 folds, Hero raises to $0.40, 1 fold, BB raises to $0.80, Hero calls $0.40

Flop: ($1.65) 9, Q, 2 (2 players)
BB bets $1, Hero raises to $3.45, BB raises to $8.50 (All-In), Hero calls $5.05

Turn: ($18.65) J (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: ($18.65) 3 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: $18.65 | Rake: $0.90
