This is a situation that comes up frequently and I really don't know how to play it. I tend to play passively in this situation and simply call so I can see a cheap flop. In most cases, the flop misses me, the big stack bets and I fold. I'm pretty sure that I had the best hand preflop, so I'm thinking that calling probably isn't the best way to play.
So, how do I play it?
1)Call and see the flop cheaply.
2)Push
3)Raise, if so, how much?

SB (t4330)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K/images/graemlins/club.gif, 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif.

Final Pot: t900
Should I have called the flop bet with an overcard and backdoor FD? Raise? Push? Help!!!
