Firstly I wasn't sure how to react to being raised on the flop. I wasn't willing to give the hand up but I wasn't sure what odds to offer UTG+1 and ended up just calling. On the turn it's an unopened sidepot, what size bet would you recommend if any?

Party Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.05/$0.10
9 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $11.04
UTG+1: $14.37
MP1: $13.57
MP2: $2.01
MP3: $4.30
CO: $2
Button: $5.93
SB: $9.70
Hero: $10

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is BB with 8 5
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, 2 folds, MP3 calls, CO (poster) checks, Button folds, SB calls, Hero (poster) checks.

Flop: 8 4 5 ($0.5, 5 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.5, UTG+1 calls, MP3 folds, CO raises all-in $1.9, SB folds, Hero calls, UTG+1 calls.

Turn: A ($6.2, 2 players + 1 all-in - Main pot: $6.2)

Must get more aggressive - Tonight we dine in $25NL! rah rah rah! etc

I make it at least $4 on the flop, that should offer villain about 2-1 pot odds. I might even just push right there and hope he calls it off anyway.

As played, on the turn we have $8 left and the pot is $6 so I push cos I dont like leaving piddly little amounts behind on the river when opp is probably drawing. I guess $4 on the turn and the rest on the river is fine too.

I agree with Jimmy, after the shorty pushes, I like to push to chase out UTG.

As played, with no side pot, I'm actually tempted to check this down, see how UTG plays his draw (or monster). Sometimes I bet $3-4 here also, depends on what I think of UTG...
Hey knucklehead! Bonk!

The key to this hand is the likely wide range shorty pushes for $1.90 here. You certainly shouldn't be respecting it. You should consider it dead money. Like a bonus added for you and UTG to fight over. When there are 30xBB worth of dead money in a pot when you have this strong of a hand, hammer it.
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

Thanks guys. I actually pushed the turn since the pot was large, I felt I was probably still ahead and if he was drawing to the nut flush he just paired his ace and might call. Maybe 2/3 pot might have been better with the rest going in on the river. He might have 16-20 outs though. Anyway he folded and CO had a set of 4's so it's a shame I didn't get a sidepot going to recoup that loss. Better hand than I expected from CO though.
