    Playing live $2/5nl on SunCruz last night. I limped in with 89 in mid position. Flop comes 567. BB bets $15, I raise to $45, cold call behind me, BB reraises to $145, I pushed all in for $225 total, another cold call behind me and BB calls. Did I play this right? The guy who cold called 225 had Q2 and caught the flush. Is there anyway to get away from this? I know I'm a favorite and will win a majority of the time, but do you ever take other persons draws into consideration? I know you want people calling with flush draws. Just want some thoughts. Do even the best players go broke here?

    Nothing you can do , you had the best hand on the flop so you play it hard .

    I would either raise with suited connectors or fold when i'm first in the pot . The only exception is if I expect there to be many players in for the call but since you limped in middle position it's less likely .
