I find myself in this position more often than I would like, and I’m not sure if I just need to get all my chips in here, or if I should be folding.

Here are my reads:

My image at the table:

Fairly aggressive. I have been entering too many pots lately, but that is mainly because I’ve been card-racking. Table has been folding a lot to me however, so they don’t know I’ve had good hands.

UTG+1 is a super-aggro bluffer. He makes overly large bluffs, and has gotten all-in and sucked out on a couple people already. He was the big stack at one point, but people know he is bluffing a lot and have started standing up to him and taking his chips.

Button is a solid abc TAG. I haven’t seen him get out of line yet. Here is the hand:

I know a lot of people are probably going to be thinking – Just fold pre. That is possibly best, but assuming you call, how do you proceed with the hand?

Here was my thinking:

On the flop when it gets checked around, I am condifent neither play would check a king here – so I pretty much rule out every hand with a king. That actually narrows button’s range down to pocket pairs and suited connectors in my mind.

On the turn, obviously I feel like I’m ahead, and I want to get value from any pocket pairs, or if they are drawing to a 4 card flush. UTG+1’s call doesn’t tell me much due the the spastic way he plays, but I am assuming he is drawing to a 4 card flush.  When button raises into both of us I feel pretty strongly that I am beat, and I am guessing it is by a bigger flush.

Things that go through my mind – could button have checked a king on that flop, in which case I have him beat? I don’t think he would do that, but I can’t say it is impossible. Would he raise an overpair like AA here? Possible, he could think I’m trying to pick up the pot here by representing a flush – I think this is unlikely though. He would want a cheap showdown in that case I suspect. Did he hit a bigger flush? I feel like this is by far the most likely situation – but certainly not a lock.

How do you play this hand out after the flop? Appreciate any advice.
