    Button ($5.26)

    I just get it in on the flop this could be an overpair, or even something dumb like A8. I just get it in on the flop, there's just no point calling this flop to then c/f the turn at all. Without reads I'm stacking off here, If I knew the BU was extremely passive or something, you could make a case for folding.

    If you really think most of his range is 33 and 88 then fold the flop, calling the flop to fold the turn is just giving away money for no reason. I'm still never folding this flop vs 2 unknowns though.

    I'd call.

    Betting pattern preflop COULD be an over pair (or maybe AK). The betting pattern on the flop looks like an over pair trying to give bad odds against a flush draw. Turn bet could mean anything, but the only thing you really have to worry about is if he has KK. It's unlikely he has pocket 3's or pocket 8's because most people at this level don't plays sets that aggressively on the flop.

    Raise preflop, as played shove flop with fistpumping action. On turn, do a little dance and thank the poker gods before pressing call.

    Every time without hesitation!
    I once asked a question very similar and had a couple of the regs tell me they would pay for every stack I lost when getting it all in with a set as long as they could have all that I won....Made me think!
    "You start the game with a full pot o’ luck and an empty pot o’ experience...
    The object is to fill the pot of experience before you empty the pot of luck."

    Basically what's been said, definately get it all in on the flop, that flops soaking! As played without reads I think I'd probabally fold the turn, should never have got to that stage though.
