Just unlucky?

$20 + $2 PL 40 joined, 20 left, top 5 get paid. I'm averaged stacked with ~T1700. Blinds are 50/100 all players are equal stacked involved.

I get T 8s in the BB and the button openlimps. SB completes and i check.

Flop:

T 4 2r.

SB bets T200. I'm either ahead or way behind so i don't like calling this down, i decide he can't be too happy about his kicker if he has the T so i decide to try and get him to fold it. I raise the pot.

SB did fold.

Turn: 6o

When this decision came i had T765 left into a T3100 pot. I decided i was going to checkcall all in so with that logic i moved all in. Anyone fold here?

I think i was just unlucky running into the buttons hand, i like my flop play and sitting with T765 left doesn't really appeal to me.

Anyone fold the flop? Call down? Raise it? Fold the turn?

Hah. Force of habit. This was meant to go in Tournments forum.

You've got to get in there and mix it up given the blinds/stack ratio. I don't see any other play it than what you did. I also would have been more worried about SB than the button.

easy fold. always remember there are more hands to play.

I think the fact that the SB called a huge bet leaving him with very little implies a fair amount of strength esp. since there is no draw, he is unlikley to fold now, so I just don't think you could have the best hand now or get him to fold, so maybe just cut your losses.
