Default if god exists he hates me

button is a table coach. Raises in bad places preflop (i.e. 44 on the button after 3 limpers) and gos too far postflop.

5/10 4 handed

I get two black eights in the SB.

UTG folds, Button raises, i 3-bet, BB folds, Button calls.

flop is A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img],2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
I bet, button raises, I call.

turn is a blank [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
I check and fold.

I planned on a stop n go for any non [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] turn. Any other way to play it?

I wasnt even suppose to be playing. I just hopped on for 30 minutes...

anyway, is this standard or should I just fold the flop? Ive been having a rough two weeks and nothing I do seems right.

What hands do you put him on after he raises flop? Flush-draw or an Ace right? Any either of these circumstances what are you hoping for? A Stop N Go is fine in this spot a lot of the time but I don't know if I would have?

I guess I'd fold the turn almost every time, Unless it's another Ace then I might go ahead. Tough to call much on turn.

posting blind.

I think check-folding the flop looks good. For any line to work, you need villian to not have an ace, not have a heart + not have a heart fall, and not have a pp greater than 88.

Reverse implied odds look terrible. I'm not sure how much your read mitigates your bad hand.

Check-folding is pretty weak. I like leading the flop and folding to a raise better.
