Default Fold a baby flush?

Cryptologic 6max 200£ NL (=400$ NL)
Effective stacks 206£
Folded to me on the button, I raise to 8£ with 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], SB and BB calls

Flop (24£) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Checked to me, and I elect to check too since I dont want to be reraised and figure it is unlikely I can fold them both out on this flop.

Turn (24£) 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
SB check, BB bets 22£, I raise to 60£, SB folds, BB reraises to 98£

I have 138£ left and the pot is now 182£.
I have no good read on BB, but seem to remember he was kinda bad. The small reraise looks a lot like a bigger flush. Is this a straight, some big heart combothing or air often enough to push, or should I let it go?

You told me it's a kinda bad player. Bad players usually play straightforward and keep raising when they are ahead. If he's bad in the way that he bluffs too much or can slowplay a set or 2 pair vs a flush and raise when the flush is on the table (how bad can you play!) then push againsth him... I would probably push here because of the pot-size and your strong hand.... You don't need to win this over 50% for it to be profitable, just hit your straight flush on the river!

If it's a really stupid player who looks very stupid out of his eyes I would consider folding. Most of the times such players simply just have the higher flush and are not advanced enough to bet Ah plus a hit or would simply fold almost anything. I noticed in the casino that bad players also fold way too much when they are ahead. I saw players folding sets or 2 pair when the turn popped a flushcard.

Overthinking it. You have flush + bad player = Poosh.
