edit the last 8 lines of the hand history, i can still see who won before the part you blanked out.

Well, if he had the flush, and a 3-bet to all-in definitely looks like a good indication that he has (depending on how often you notice him bluffing like this), you have 7 outs and are getting only slightly better than 2-1 on your money. Sans reads, giving him credit and folding is probably a good idea. If I couldn't see the results I'd come to the same conclusion, I think.

At micro-limits I won't fold. BTW, why are you raising like that preflop?

Sorry, must've missed last few lines

I dunno why I raised like that to be totally honest with you. I usually raise to .08 or .10

I would have just limped preflop. Normally I'll check a flopped set, but I don't hate leading out on a 3-flushed board. Once you got raised though, I would have just called to see if the turn helps you or doesn't bring another heart. As played though, you had to call his all-in.

The size of the raise wasn't my concern, the fact that you re-raised with pocket fives is. I don't see what good can come of it.
