PF - fold atleast to the cap.

<font color="red"> If I stayed in PF, still debating if I would have. . . I would have done the same on the flop. I probably would have check/called the turn and bet out on the river. There is probably leaks in this. . . [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] </font>

Very interesting hand. Preflop calls are probably marginal. You're definitely committing yourself to spend some money chasing when calling those bets. It's too bad throughout the hand that you aren't drawing to the nut.

Regardless, I think you're in very good shape odds-wise from the flop on and can play aggressively on all streets, although the chance of drawing dead to all of your outs is a discouraging possibility.

I'd fold pre-flop to the cap.
Barring that, i'd raise the flop and play the turn/river the same.

Final Pot 30.5 BB between Hero, Button and UTG+1

Hero shows J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] - Jack high flush
UTG+1 shows 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] -full house eights up
Button shows 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] - four of a kind fours

Button wins 30.5 BB and Hero kicks himself for yet again failing to correctly fold a big hand.
