AQo... when to let go?

Button is a good solid TAG.

Flop: K Q 8. Hero bets, Button raises, Hero calls.

When the turn paired the flopped 8 I didn't feel that it was decisive in any way to my hand or my situation, as I didn't see Button having an 8.

Combo's out -
that beat you - 9 AK, 3 AA, 3 KK, 1 QQ = 16
that tie - 6 AQ = 6
you beat - 6 JJ, 6 TT = 12

Unless he was raising for a free card with JJ or TT, it seems very likely that he raised a combo that beats you.

well i guess his pocket fives won't be getting a free card on that turn
