    Played the $26 13,500 GTD on Full Tilt down to 30 and this situation arises:

    Sitting with 21K. Blinds are 800/1600 with antes (cant' remember)

    I'm 4 from button and get As9d. I haven't seen a hand for a while (so I've got a tight sort of image) so make the 4.8k raise hoping for the steal. SB calls. SB has been playing the standard tight sort of game.

    Flop is 2s5s8s.

    Check from SB there is 11k in the pot

    What would you do?

    I would bet out because you are not getting away from that draw. I'd bet the size of the pot and you will have to show it down if he raises. His call smells like a small pair or two big cards and he may raise ur continuation bet. The hand is too strong and it's a great oppourtunity to get alot of chips late in the trny. Against one pair ur a coin flip, against 2 pair ur better than 2-1, against a set ur slightly under 2-1. Would u even entertain folding on that flop? Two overs and a flush draw. You wouldnt fold AKsuited if u flopped 4 to the flush there.
