Fold preflop. That's all I got.

If you must play that crap, then you need to c/r big on this turn.

why should i ever fold this pre given our really deep stacks? heads up i'd like to see the flop with almost anything and play on from there. i'd gladly call the raise and muck the flop a few times in exchange for the time i take a huge pot off him, just as i did in this case.

call in a heartbeat

fyi, i call that heads up everytime...if you won't play that heads up, then stick to full games

I would smooth call in that spot, raising commits you to the pot and if you're three bet you're beat unless your opponent is an absolute maniac.

Well you hit your draw, as for playing the hand pre-flop, why not. So the only question is callin 1500 for a 8000 pot, easy call.
