Maybe I should have folded pre-flop. However, the pot was lying 10 to 1 when it came back to me (after my forced blind), and with suited cards, I thought those were good enough odds to at least see a flop.

I'm still bad at these situations in general. Where I flop the best hand, and then the next rounds of betting change that. I'm trying to figure out when it's best to back off and when to just keep charging forward.

Anyway, I had just sat down at this table, so no reads.

PokerStars 0.10/0.20 Hold'em (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 8, 2. Hero posts a blind of $0.10. MP3 posts a blind of $0.10.
Hero (poster) checks, UTG+1 raises, MP1 calls, 4 folds, SB calls, BB calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (11 SB) 8, 6, 8 (5 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks, UTG+1 bets, MP1 calls, SB folds, BB calls, Hero calls.

Turn: (7.50 BB) 7 (4 players)
BB checks, Hero checks, UTG+1 bets, MP1 calls, BB calls, Hero raises, UTG+1 3-bets, MP1 calls, BB calls $0.10 (All-In), Hero caps, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls.

River: (21 BB) 5 (4 players, 1 all-in)
Hero bets, UTG+1 raises $0.30 (all-in), MP1 calls, Hero 3-bets, MP1 calls.

Final Pot: 26.50 BB

I'd open the flop and hope Villian raises to push out the flush draws. As played I think UTG+1 just fell in love with his AA/KK and has no understanding that he could be beat. I just don't give him credit for a boat or a straight based on his play.
Come give me advice.

I agree with rubix. With the straight and flush coordinated board you have to bet this flop and hope the preflop raiser raises you and thins the field. Otherwise you will have to dodge some bullets to make it to showdown with the best hand.

I think you played the rest of the hand fine. Against a normal person that would be too much aggression but against someone that is trying to put themselves all-in you often have the best hand, and with MP1 just calling along (probably with crap) you have a LOT more equity than if it was just heads up against UTG+1.

Thanks guys.

Also, since this played out weird, here are the results.

UTG+1 had pocket tens, so yeah, I was correct to lash out at him.

MP1 had A9o for the rivered straight. Completely caught me off guard. Amusing in its own way though.

I'm not too surprised about that. Looking at the HH I see MP1 calling, calling, calling... By the river it looked like crying calls with 4c, 9x against what looked to him like a possible full house.
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.
