NL25 Sanity Check: Nut Flush draw all-in on flop for fold equity

[automaton_22]

Is this a maniac play?
Or is my reasoning sound: I more than likely even money if he calls, and have a whole lot of fold equity.

UTG: $50
UTG+1: $41.05
CO: $57.85
Hero: $49.20
SB: $83.10
BB: $49.33

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to $1.25</font>, UTG+1 folds, CO calls, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $3.5</font>, 2 folds, UTG calls, CO calls.

Flop: 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($10.85, 3 players)
UTG checks, <font color="#cc0000">CO bets $8.5</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises all-in $45.7</font>, UTG folds, CO calls.

Results:
Final pot: $102.25

[/ QUOTE ] No, you're not. You should fold, it's pretty obvious he has an 8 or 44. I seriously doubt he's leading like this with 77 and 99+ makes no sense at all.

Thanks, that seems to be the case.
What would the situation be if the board was not paired?

8d 6h 4d?

In this situation would the push all-in be +ev, given fold equity?

[Gelford]

I like this and think that the above posters have no clue


The thing is, you are in fine shape and what all of you fail to notice, is that you don't need no freaking fold equity to get it in the middle, that is just an added bonus ! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

(for crying out loud .... don't be nits)

(I've only added the two SCs that hit the 8, just to make it worse and I've made UTG very nitty)

Gelford pretty much summed up what i was gonna say =)

[automaton_22]

Thanks Gelford, you make the point convincingly.
Let's put this another way: what would a 4 flush board look like for me NOT to push all in in this situation?

AAK obviously. What else?

[/ QUOTE ]

That is too creative and rare to go about wondering, and AAK ... wtf ??? you've hit your ace ??? (but ok, not going all in in order to take villians along might be good)

But you really need something very kinky like KKT or similar ... dunno, don't think I really care actually [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[Bastian]

Correct me if Im wrong. I think its fine. Just pot it though.

EDIT: what are his stats? I mean, retards call with JJ+ here PF.

Raise more preflop. Lead flop. Once you check the flop, you have to crai
