Calling Heavy action with nut flush draw! NL newbie alert

[toddxlogan]

Call pf is bad against even a maniac, especially because you (self-admittedly) suck after the flop. If you are going to play this, raise it and make yourself the aggressor. Otherwise you can never feel good about a king and playing to hit an 8postflop is damn weak. And flushes dont actually happen, except in this post.

Flop call is really bad IMO. Your K and 8 outs almost assuredly aren't good BB's flat call looks like a club draw as well. You have no reason to think that BB isn't going to put you in on the turn when turn bricks, and then you are probably priced in (?haven't bothered to do the math) to call anyway despite getting terrible odds because you have engaged in a bloated pot with a very speculative hand.

Raise/Fold pre, fold flop. That said, push turn.
