Is this standard?

The flop pot bet really threw me for a loop. Given the size of the pot and his stack, it was really only push or fold. With no read and a coordinated board, is this standard? Thanks in advance.

offhand i'd say yes. you might want to try the fullring forum though.

I expect to see a flush draw here often enough. Looks fine to me.

Turns out he had 88. I was actually seriously concerned about a set or 98 when I made the play. A9 (or a worse nine) likely doesn't bet out for the full pot 5 handed. I was hoping for a weakly played TT or JJ. I knew a lot of draws were possible, but in my experience draws underbet far more often. Thoughts?

Depends on the table but unless 5 people calling the raise preflop is standard, then quite a few of them could have had pocket pairs; and if UTG doesn't have one that connected the two people acting behind you could.

JJ/TT would need a lot of bravery (if we can call it that) to bet pot into 4 people one of which is the PFR.
