Online Poker....

I was playing at a 2/4 table last night and brought in 230$...anyways i got down to about 160$ish before this hand took place...

I was on the big blind 9 handed and it folded all the way to the small blind who just limped and i checked with 86 offsuit.

The flop brings 95J with two spades...he bets 4$...i call( by the way he has about 130$).

The turn brings a 7 spades and he bets 15$ i raise him 25$ he pushes all-in for about 110$....What would you do here?

First of all, let me say that this hand really has made me think...There are many hands that can beat you here (any two spades, 10-8) and there are many hands you are beating right now (J-9 or any two pair for that matter, or any set - although I dont think he would have JJ or 99 since he probably would have raised...anyways, I think here he either has the flush (a weak flush, not wanting to be outdrawn by A/K spades) or a set...seeing as how he probably didn't limp with 99 or JJ, im guessing he already has the flush...I know that when you are in the situation, it is a much harder decision to make, but ultimately, I think folding is the right play...2/4 players are ususally a step better than 1/2 players and know what they are doing....he has shown strength throughout the hand and even when you raise him, he is still going over the top...my guess is that he has Q-10 spades

Easy fold, don't play for your stack in an unraised pot without the nuts...he could have any two cards.

Good comments....The way it appeard to me was that he wouldn't move all in with the flush already made...I thought maybe he had AJ with the A of spades or two pair....that was my feel of the hand...So anyway i called his all in simply because i had trouble really putting him on anything...and Max you always said when you don't understand the play it usually means their bluffing....Well i just didn't see what he was trying to do here....i guess he could have had a low flush...that would make sense but i just didn't think he had it....So the River brings a blank non spade but it didn't matter because when i called he turned over AQ of suit with no spades....he was just trying to make a play...
