Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

saw flop | saw showdown

Hero (BB) ($24.55)
UTG ($69.22)
UTG+1 ($5)
MP1 ($50.32)
MP2 ($10.09)
MP3 ($5)
CO ($25.39)
Button ($17.65)
SB ($24.40)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8, A
UTG calls $0.25, 5 folds, Button calls $0.25, SB calls $0.15, Hero checks

Flop: ($1) 6, 8, 5 (4 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $1, UTG calls $1, Button raises to $3, 1 fold, Hero folds
fyp.

and i agree with op. you're oop and gonna be in some shitty spots even if you end up just going against the button. If utg calls as well, then almost every turn card sucks balls and we get put in even shitier spots.
