    <SPAN>I'm playing a $10 sit n go at my buddies house. I know all the players, know their tendencies and have a few very reliable tells of most of them.

    I got myself pigeon-holed as a hyper-aggressive player, so they all think, regardless of how many hands I sit out, regardless of the cards I show, regardless of my bet sizing that I am invariably bluffing...all the time. This is the greatest weapon I have. I just play nice and tight and let them ship it when I hit big hands.

    I had been playing against my usual strategy when this hand came up.

    We start with blinds at 5/10 (rising every 15 min) and a starting stack of 1000.

    I'd built that stack up to around 1600 playing a lot of suited connectors for cheap in position and connecting on just about every board. To my opponents I looked like I was on a huge rush.</SPAN>

    <SPAN> </SPAN>

    <SPAN>There were 6 ppl playing and the stacks were like this:

    Button: 405
    SB: 1100
    BB: 950
    UTG: 1200
    Me: 1600
    CO: 745

    The blinds at this point were 10/20.

    I pick up 7 8

    UTG limps in.

    I pump it up to 80.

    Everyone folds to the button who just calls.

    The Blinds fold and UTG calls.

    The pot is 270.

    The flop comes off: 6 9 10

    My hearts punches my chest as I realize I've flopped the nu... Oh wait, there's three hearts on the board...yippee...

    The UTG player bets 50.

    The button only has 325 left, but the UTG player has shown interest in the hand?

    Do I bet enough to put the button all-in? Do I push?
    What do you do?

    I'll tell you what I did after some responses?</SPAN>

    Yes I like to raise here just enough to put the button all in . It's about the size of the pot anyway .

    Raise as much as you would raise if you assume your opponent has AhT which is basically the worst case scenario...sets are possible but you will prob not get away from your hand if you get reraised anyway, so i just bet enough to price out all the possible drawy hands like 8x or 7x of hearts. Probably pot it here.

    I raised it to 325, enough to put the button in who instantly called. The UTG player folded AK face up. Button turned over Q 10 and hit the J on the turn to win the pot.
