Hi Mugge88!

Fold preflop! MP3 isn't a good position to call with suited connectors. CO und Button still act behind you and in the case that they are still in the hand on the flop it means that you have to play suited connectors out of position - which should be avoided. As you played it: flop, turn and river play is fine. If he pushes all-in on the river after your raise you have an easy call. Don't be afraid of going broke against a higher flush. It happens rarely and you will see worse hands (straights, two pair, three of a kind, etc.) more often.

Good luck at the tables!
