SB: $198.00
BB: $325.80
UTG: $282.15
CO: $71.00
Hero (BTN): $219.80

Reads: UTG is 40/20/3. He would be raising all pairs. Therefore I do not put him on a set or overpair here.

Preflop: Hero is dealt 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (5 Players)

I think this is a bad flop call. What are you really that far ahead of? Maybe air.... and if you put him on air what card do you think you can see on turn that you are really gonna like? He has to be affraid of your hand when you call the check raise, but hes apparently not. Id say muck on flop certainly dont shove turn(is it possible he calls with a worse hand), and tighten up your pf raising range against this guy.

vil has flush? what else could he have?

The flop action says u might have a pair or a str8 draw or something. When u just call his reraise im taking out all sets and str8s and thinking of an overpair or a 8. Maybe A or K club in ur hand.

like above poster said he isnt afraid by leading out with a 1/2 PSB.

vil has A2-A3 clubs? KQ-K10 clubs?

dont like. i fold flop to his raise.
even if you're ahead, you cant stand any heat and wont get any value from worse hands, but pay off better ones

This is not the flop to go broke on with a marginal TPTK. Super-easy fold.
