I had a hard time making up the correct play here between a call, shove or fold. The good thing with calling is it reduces variance against Ax hands with A of hearts. If a heart comes on the turn we are done with the hand. The problem with calling is that SB will likely check turn and so will MP if he doesn't have a flush so we will have to donk to get money in on the turn or otherwise we will give a free card, which will turn our hand face up. If we had position I think a call is as good as shoving.

I tanked for some time, can't remember if it was all that long but I just had a feeling that SB was trapping with a big flush. I went over his range and came to the conclusion that he never has AA KK QQ or JJ in this spot. Possible sets are 99 and 44 but I would expect a raise from a set here when button has already folded out. I would expect hands like AhKx and AhQx with A of hearts to 3bet pre and AhJx to raise flop. The only 2 pair combo is J9, dunno what I would exepct from him with that but a call is not unlikely. That leaves it with a few combinations of AhXx and made flushes.

I was leaning very heavily to him having a flush here. Posted the hand on another forum and got the answer standard shove.

What do you think? Am I overleveling myself in this handreading spot and should just close my eyes and shove or what? Any thoughts is welcome. Did I miss out on possible holdings on SB?

I'm not worried about MP because his range remains the same and if he has flopped a flush so be it, it's SB that I'm worried about in this spot.
