    Default 5NL-AA- Board pairs with flush draw

    Villian was 35/8 over 50 hands

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (4 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    Button ($7.24)
    Hero (SB) ($5.83)
    BB ($10)
    UTG ($12.33)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with A, A
    1 fold, Button calls $0.05, Hero raises to $0.20, 1 fold, Button calls $0.15

    Flop: ($0.45) 8, 10, 5 (2 players)
    Hero bets $0.40, Button calls $0.40

    Turn: ($1.25) 8 (2 players)
    Hero ???

    No clue what to do here. Assume I still have the best hand? Min bet to see if I get re raised? 2/3 pot bet?

    Full pot bet. There are a lot of hands that you beat that will call 2/3 pot bet and if they will call 2/3 they will call a full pot bet. You already have a good hand here, and you are drawing to the nut flush and a boat. I want as much money in the pot as I can get.

    That 35/8 is a little misleading. Any ranges for the villan or notes on his post flop play?

    I would have raised the flop a little harder to make him pay for the draw. As played, I pot the turn. You have 13 outs here (4 to the boat and 9 to the nut flush). This is a good spot to brew a big pot. Given this board, there's also a really good chance your Aces are still ahead.
