some help with a hand...

[enigami123]

This is a hand I played at Foxwood's at the 1/2 NL table:

I was SB with my stack at $250, everyone else's stack at around 150 or less with the exception of two other seats, the 6 seat at $350, and the button at $400. There was 1 limper, an $8 raise, two $8 calls, and the button raises $30. I call with 89s and everyone folds. The flop comes down 788 with two clubs. I check raise to the button who bets $100. Now with $87 in the pot I put him on a big pair, AKc, or possibly a steal. I reraise him all in with my trips to the $187 pot which after some thought he calls and turns over A8 off suit. Was there any way I was getting away from this hand?

I think you should fold preflop putting >10% of your stack in preflop out of position with an drawing hand is a mistake.

Postflop I think you just got very unlucky to be against A8.
