I only played some hands with BTN, he seems to be somewhat aggressiv postflop but his preflop is 18/2 for 120 hands.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

MP2 ($92)
CO ($89.50)
Button ($298.10)
SB ($68.05)
Hero ($131.70)
UTG ($173.45)
UTG+1 ($75.85)
MP1 ($63.55)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K, A.
2 folds, MP1 calls $1, 1 fold, CO calls $1, Button calls $1, SB completes, Hero raises to $6, MP1 folds, CO folds, Button calls $5, SB calls $5.

Flop: ($20) 5, 7, 7 (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $15, Button raises to $35, SB folds, Hero raises to $67, Button raises to $292.1, Hero


I thoght he was making a move with a flushdraw or a small pair, maybe 88-TT. So a reraised him (maybe to small) and he pushed. Easy call since I have only ~$60 left and the pot has ~ $200 or easy fold since I'm drawing dead?
I have no reads and I am new to NL100 (Stars), but sometimes I think its normal there to push a gutshot + BD-Nut-FD into two ...

you cant fold, and for that reason shoving is way better than making that gay min raise. folding is far better than both though i think.

 Without a read this is definitly spew as penfold mentioned. I'm a nit so take my advice accordingly...

I like your c-bet in this situation, but I don't like your re-raise on the flop. Without a read, you're getting more chips into the middle when behind by at most 6 outs.

Not only is this guy re-raising you, but he's also putting a lot of chips in with another guy between u and him to act. I can understand bluffing heads up on a draw is common, but it's less likely against two opponents. I'm looking for a better spot to use my $52.

Girlfriend: Soo... you forgot to run that errand, but you had time to werewolf? Wtf?

 These boards typically turn out to be pissing contests. Problem is you're pissing into the wind on this one.

Even if villain has a naked flush draw he has a lot of equity against you (50%).

Oh god just realized it's full ring. Yea, we all know flop 3bet are always bluffs, problem is your opponent problem doesn't therefore it would be hard to believe he's playing back at you.

I make it $7-8 to go PF not that it truly matters but you're OOP so you'd really like to reduce some implied odds by shortening the stacks.

i probably c/f flop

you gotta shove flop over his 3 bet but i only reserve this move for more tricky opp's and a 18/2 aint one of them.
Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.
