Default 1/2 Live, deepstacked 85s attempts isoraise and flops flush

UTG is relatively unknown.

UTG+1 is very loose and usually aggressive preflop. He rarely folds after having entered the pot. He is aggressive postflop and bluffs a fair chunk. I want his stack.

Hero started close to the above's right, playing shortstacked. I've gone all-in twice with QQ and lost both hands. Those are the only hands I've played so far. I managed to snag a seat behind the cannon bigstack and used this time to re-buy to $400 (no cap on the game). I've played with him before and believe he respects my play.

CO is somewhat loose preflop and decent postflop.

Button is also relatively unknown, but has been playing pretty tight postflop, appearing not to get involved without a decent hand.

Stacks (approx):
UTG ($600)
UTG+1 ($600)
Hero - MP2 ($400)
CO ($400)
Button ($215)

Hero is MP2 with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Preflop:
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, 1 fold, Hero raises to $10, 2 folds, CO calls, Button calls, 2 folds, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: ($53) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (5 players)
UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, Hero bets $50, CO folds, Button raises to $100, UTG folds, UTG+1 looks at the pot, thinks for about 10 seconds, and flat calls. Hero ... ?

ask for a towel so that you can clean yourself up after raising 85s and flopping a flush and getting so much action (and a 1-outer to the niggity-nuts!), then go all in and start cleaning up while they ponder their decision.

Haha DJ, I can't think of too many better flops for that hand and there is a lot in the pot now, push it real good. If big flush is out at least you have one out! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I'm just kinda hardpressed to believe a bigger flush isn't out there. The two villians here aren't completely ignorant.

Definitely reraise here / push all-in.
Your opponents will either protect a strong hand (maybe a set) or will play a good hand. It will be very dangerous for you, if the board pairs, or if another spade hits the board.
Go now all-in when you are the favourite.
If someone has a better Flush that's just bad luck.
