Re: 89s - Is this standard?
You need to win about 42% of the time when called for this to be positive ($85 bet to win $200). The only real opponent hands for which this is not true or better are AdJd/AdKd (around 32% and 21%). It's the right move against trips/2P/Pair+draw.
So yes, I think a push is fairly standard here unless your opponent is insanely tight and folds/calls with 2 pair or worse given this action. I can't see calling being more profitable unless you know your opponent very frequently calls on later streets even if the flush comes.
