I'd probably see people min raise with Ax with no club..Sure, sure. What can he beat there up to the river? I see no hand that he's better against. Play passive - lose your stack. Easy game.

After he keeps re-raising I actually just end up calling it instead of pushing all-in. Even on NL5... 
Of course its sick to just call a straight flush, but given there are no worse hands that he would logically or even illogically be raising after checking it down, so I don't see much value in a push.

OP min-raise = nuts.. especially after 2 min-raises. There is nothing else villain would do that with. Just call, don't ever push in these situations.

This is my first post on the forums and haven't even received my starting capital yet so call me a noob or whatever but here's my 2 cents, take it for what it's worth.
The way I see it there are 2 possible things that could be going on here.
1) The push is a bad idea only because IMO the only call you will get is a hand that beats you. Maybe you got greedy, it happens to all of us I'm sure. I know there are weak players out there but looking at that board even an unskilled player would think you have the straight flush.
2) It's low limits he/she isn't very good, thinks their plain old straight is good or flush is good. Seen many people raising/calling big raises with draws.
Of course all this said, its easy to second guess when you know the actual outcome.
On a side note I've never been beat by a Royal, though a straight flush did get me once after I floped a full house. A story for another day...
Here's a question for all you folders out there:
1st hand of the WSOP Main Event, you have KK and an unknown puts you all in right away.
Do you call, risking facing aces (quite likely)? I say this because on the ESPN broadcast they show some guy busting out in the 1st hand with QQ vs AA - is this a foldable situation?
oh, I'm sorry, is this not generally related to poker? I must be in the wrong forum

i actually saw such hand. well not by myself but i read the analysis of Daniel Negreanu of such situation. 3 reraises preflop and the guy with KK folded and DN justified the fold. lets dont forget it is WSOp and people play tighter. also you start with 300bb so if you 4bet and fold you will still be witha good stack of 250-260bb, so yes folding is an option
btw people raaarely stack of for 300bb pf, at the beginning of wsop with less than KK/AA unless they are really fishy
