I don't have the hand history, since they were unavailable to get because of maintenence.

$1.00-$2.00 blinds, 10 person (full) NL ring table on poker.com.

UTG ($400.00 stack) raises to $8.00. I am next to act and I call with [2s2h]. I have $209.00 in my stack. Three others call to make the pot an even $40.00 before the flop.

FLOP: 8s 4s 2d

UTG checks, I bet $25.00, another player goes all in for $49.75. Fold, Fold, then the UTG player who initially raises calls. I call (keep in mind I could not raise because the player all in had .25 too less to complete a full raise).

TURN: 3s

UTG player instantly goes all in for $350ish. I have $150.00 left in my stack (pot was $190.00). This player was aggressive and also bluffed at times (although I knew he had some sort of hand here, at least AA or KK). He wasn't a great player, maybe not even a good player, but when he acted he usually was strong in his action, not necessarily strong with his hand. I knew he would make this play with a flush, higher set, or an overpair (AA or KK). When he called after the flop I was scared of a bigger set and the flush draw because he checked first.

Finally I fold the hand... did I make the correct decision?

Should I have noticed the short stack of 49.75, and bet accordingly to leave the re raise option open?

hmm.. probably has JJ-AA with a spade draw in there.

that sux you couldnt get a reraise all in there.. i like to get sets all in on the flop in those situations.

we should think more about sizing our bets so if a shorty rr's all in we can get a 3rd bet.

I think you have to call here. Even if he has AK/AQ/KQ of spades, you still have chances to beat him. Like Terry said, likely has has an overpair with a 4 flush here.
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.

You're calling $150 to win $490. You're getting about 3.2:1 on your money. If he's got the nuts, you're a 4.5:1 'dog. If he's drawing to the flush with an overpair, you're a 4.5:1 favourite. Which seems more likely to you?

Btw, I'm an amateur, take this with a pinch of salt, but I think this is the right way to think.

I don't understand why you can't just push the flop? But I call the turn push here, especially if it's immediate.

You can't re-raise if you aren't raised the minimum in the first place.
Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

Stack sizes are important.

I insta-fold here with no other information on UTG.

thanks a lot guys, the hand played out like this, he went all in with AA AND NO SPADE!!!! Another spade did hit on river but I had the duece so I woulda won. The short stack that pushed had JJ with NO SPADE. I was sick after the hand and had to quit for the nite. When I replayed the hand in my head over and over again I couldnt believe I folded. I just wanted to know what you all would do.... thanks for the input... next time Ill be calling.
