Who has what and what do you do? I will post what actually happened later.

gforbes with a min raise preflop and now doubles the open bet on the flop? Smells like an overpair, at this point it doesn't matter, I'd reraise to $10 at least. If you're lucky Mr. Overpair will raise you back and you can get it all in on the flop.

Here is the result of the hand. I hope you enjoy. I play aggressive and did the best I could with my cards...can't always predict what will happen....

lsu0tiger raises [$15]. Yeah, I bet hard here just like the others mentioned.
booterzz folds.
Greener000 folds.
TooPearz is all-In [$15.10]
gforbes calls [$12.70].
lsu0tiger calls [$2.50].
** Dealing Turn ** [ Ah ] Definitely not the card you want to see, but it also means if someone was betting the flush, they didn't have the nuts
gforbes checks.
lsu0tiger checks.
** Dealing River ** [ 2d ]
gforbes checks.
lsu0tiger checks.
gforbes shows [ 8s, 8d ] three of a kind, eights.
lsu0tiger shows [ 4c, 4s ] three of a kind, fours.
TooPearz shows [ Qh, 7h ] a flush, ace high. Not even the nut flush....
TooPearz wins $52.25 from the main pot with a flush, ace high.
lsu0tiger: the donk wins!

He left the table two hands after this...I was beat regardless, but the other guy was super mad. I don't blame him.

Tough...hard not to go broke on this one.

My first instinct was also overpair, and I think you made the right play.
