$50 NL HE Full Ring: Overpair with OESD and back door flush draw vs all-in reraise on flop.
So I've been playing a live 50NL house game out here. And it's very soft. Half a year ago I'd go and crush and cash out up $90 on an average night, lately the average has swung to up $250. The competition is very weak with one exception, villain in this hand.
Hero is the BTN, stack around $200. Villain is the SB, stack around $300. Villain and hero have a history.
He is generally LAG, and I am generally tighter, but just as aggressive, and sometimes my hand selection gets on the loose end of things. A standard preflop raise on this table is ~8-10 BBs, and you don't have people folding hands they'd play for 1 BB until it gets around to 20 BBs. Obviously very profitable.
Dealt to hero: 8c8h
Preflop:
Everybody limps, hero raises to $5. Everybody calls.
Flop (pot: $40) - 5c6h7c
Villain bets $8, two calls, hero raises to $38 (my intention was pot isolation, I have a lot of equity, and these guys will fold a weak draw to big bets). Villain (SB) raises all-in, folded around. Villain has a history of telling the truth when he talks about his hand, and mentions to another player contemplating a call that he wouldn't mind one call. It's folded around to us, and my brain starts working.
Hero: ?
My read on villain is he has flopped two pair or a pair and a draw. While he would have raised me with a made straight, I don't think he'd bet out on the made straight UTG.
