I agree, but I'd probably talk myself into calling since it's a weird line for a set or higher flush to take.

This is a very wierd line.
villian flat calls pre-flop, then calls flop on draw heavy board.
Now, if he realizes that Our Hero is open-raising mid-SCs here, then this is a great call with AXs.... but shouldn't AXs re-raise preflop? Raise flop with nut draw?

So putting hero on correct hand makes no sense.
So, more typically hero has a 2 high cards or a pair. Lead on a draw heavy flop - doesn't mean much, but would a set flat call here? Turn completes the flush, so any sets are now scared....

I guess he could have a non-nut flush that still beats you. Or he could have a ridiculosly misplayed AK.

Looks like you're beat, but I can't imagine what he has. Whatever it is, he misplayed it.

The only hand that makes the most sense in my opinion here is KJ. It could also be a badly played set turned into a full house. If villian flipped anything else over he is a complete donkey.

You got it. KJ and it makes so much sense too. It crossed my mind at the time, but I paid it off like a fool.

Even K-J is very poorly played here.

 I don't understand why you'd make such a stupid bet on the river with no idea what to do if he pushes.

I think you are going to get showed 55/44 here often (yes people slowplay sets on boards like this ALL the time) and should probably fold.

FWIW, I usually call here and I don't think I've ever been good.
