You're a Bunch of Factors

Playing a .50c/$1 PLO game the other night, this was my last hand before I was to leave.
I had $153 stack UTG raises to $3, 2 people call and then I call without looking at my hand, seeing as I had $3 extra left over. To the flop with 6 runners the flop was [9s] [8d] [10d] gets checked around, turn card [2d] gets checked around 1 more time, the river was the [Jd]. 1st to speak leads out for $10 2 people fold, I then decide to look at my cards [8s Ad 3d 4s], I look down at the nut flush and raise to $25, another 2 people fold, 1 person tanks and then folds, it now gets back to the initial raiser who after thinking for about a minute raises to $75, N ow it is back to me I know there is only 1 possible hand that can beat me other player has $200+. I tank for 2 or 3 minutes then tell him that I am only losing to 1 hand, No reaction from the player, so I show him my [Ad 3d] and fold to which he replies to me nice fold and then shows me [7d 9d] for the straight flush.
99 times out of 100 I would've gone broke there. I consider this hand 1 of the best folds I have ever made

That is an absolutely huge fold.

lol at not looking at your cards for the final hand.

Great fold

But im interested to know what tipped you off

was it a specific read etc

It was a bit of previous knowledge of the player and the bet itself which told me to fold. The PLO game was pretty lose but this player was a very good Omaha player. I've been playing poker with him for about 2 years.
Other than that just had a read, I guess.
The funny thing is aginst anyone else at the table I probably would've gone broke.
As to not looking at my hand, well it was the last hand, and I probably would've lost more if I had of looked. Wprked out that I lost the absolute minimum.
