Don't include results in the post, it skews the answers. I don't particularly like it preflop, the re-raise and flat call signifies at least one very strong hand unless they are bad. If button is thinking he knows utg+1 raises and then a re-raises right after it mean a strong hand, and he won't calls himself without a very strong hand, especially 1/6 of his stack. If I raised like you did I would play the rest of the hand like you did. But I would have definatly folded preflop the first time around. Getting 13% of you stack in vs 2 likely strong hands, OOP, with a 1-off suited connector is hugely -EV.

I don't mind the raise preflop, but I tend to like to be in position when playing hands like this. Unless you're running over this table I will usually fold this hand in UTG+1. That said, I think you have to call the $8 into $31 when it comes back to you.

Flop looks fine.

Where's the tough decision on flop? Flop's totally standard.

Pre-flop matter of preference, I don't really like it at all though

yes you do. the PF raiser made a min raise and cost himself a lot of money. you have to call this, especially closing the action.

as said, you're only behind to a better flush, or a set.

yea calling the $8 into $31 is fine....i dont know about raising 810s utg+1 but for switching it up so your EP raises arent getting too easily read i also do this from time to time.....but when calling this re raise this is prob. one of the best flops youll be able to see with this hand and i think flop play is fine

well the reason why this is a tough flop hand is becuase I think one of the villians hands is highly gonna AA becuase while teh reraise is strong the flat call is even stronger I thought it definitly looked like aa from one of them and then the flop came and If didnt think that AA was out a high portion of the time I would easily get it all in becuase ide be ahead of most ranges. What makes this so tough is that a set is going to be out there a good portion of time given the preflop action

If this flop didn't make you go "woo hoo! I can't wait to get it all in!" then fold this hand PF.

There is no reason to put them on AA- there are more combinations of AK (especially given there is an ace on the board) and a lot of people are going to play it the same PF.
