on the flop it's 50 back to you with 300 in the pot and 400 behind you would just flat-call with a monster and lead the turn? bull

stop and go is bad no matter what hand you have, unless it's for confusion/deception purposes or you have a very specific reason to do it. not standard in my book

Uh... what?

My scenario has TAG and LC calling my flop bet.

Seems like calling and pushing are both okay, although one should do the latter more often. One point though...

A few people have said it's raise or fold because your spade outs are not clean. Although that's true, you are getting 6.4:1 on a call with four outs to the nuts. Even if you fold all spades (except the 8), your implied is still good enough to just go for an 8. Anyway, folding is probably wrong, IMHO.

[ArtVandelay]

I pushed; TAG folded (said later he had AT), and LC called flipping up a bizarrely played AA; I missed.

Thanks for all the responses guys.
