Default 109s flopped overpair vs the whole damn table.

It's been awhile since I've posted a hand, so here's a super boring one.

Typical 109s table so far. CO+1 sucks really bad.

PartyPoker $109 Speed Tournament, Big Blind is t40 (10 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t2000)
UTG+1 (t2345)
MP1 (t2000)
MP2 (t1960)
MP3 (t931)
CO+1 (t1668)
CO (t1940)
Button (t3196)
Hero (t1960)
BB (t2000)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG calls t40, UTG+1 calls t40, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP3 folds</font>, CO+1 calls t40, CO calls t40, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, Hero calls t20, BB checks

Flop: (t240) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (6 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, <font color="red">UTG bets t100</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, CO+1 calls t100, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, Hero calls t100, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>

Turn: (t540) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks, CO+1 checks

River: (t540) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)

Seems pretty standard to me.

Nice pot for only 5 clicks.

I come out betting the pot with the idea that if someone plays back at me I am pretty much gone (unless I have a good read on the opponent). The only thing you are really worried about here is UTG having a big pocket pair or someone flopping a set. A straight or two pair is very unlikely and you do not want to give someone with two spades odds to draw to his/her flush. By checking and calling you really do not know where you are at all. I would even prefer a check raise on the flop over the check call. After the flop I am checking unless I think my opponent is on a flush draw, in which case I am going to bet the turn, but I am checking the river 100% of the time if I get a call on the turn after not giving my opponents odds to call with a flush draw.

I'd probably check/fold. Just about every turn card sucks(assuming you are ahead right now) and being in the SB makes it even a crappier spot.

Looks fine to me. I often check fold in such spots but for only 100 I would call.

I like the line as well. The board is super connected so leading out could possibly put you in a situation of building a big pot with a billion scary turns. For t100 I call all day and re-evaluate on the turn

i would just give up on the flop. just about any possible turn is bad for you.

Yeah but given the nature of the board and the fact that some of these scary turns may also be bad for your opponent, it will get checked through more often than most boards. However I would fold to something like a 150-200 chip bet, so its a close call to me.
