Default 4/180: AQ with straight and Q flush draw facing raise on flop.

MP1 doesn't play many hands so I give him credit for something. Not sure what something is tho maybe AJ with A flush draw. The min raise is extra suspicious.

I figure the Q high flush may not be good and just calling the min raise puts alot of my stack in there. I was hoping to just win it with the c-bet.

I think it's a push or fold situation at this point but i could be wrong....

Default Re: 4/180: AQ with straight and Q flush draw facing raise on flop.

Tough call. Depends how well you play shortstacked, and if you can get those chips back without much trouble. The question here is definitely push or fold, but he easily can have a king, and more easily can have the ace of diamonds. You could push and find that you are drawing dead, or you can push and find that he folds instantly. He probably hasn't made the nut flush because he would just call, but if he's raising he probably has a pair with the chance that he is drawing to the best hand. I'd get away from this one.
