    Fold to the pot-sized bet on the flop. You can find another hand to play. Someone else with a flush draw has you creamed, and your middle pair will likely be shit by the river. Too much action...

    With 2 people showing that much strength, improving to 2 pair won't help you, so it's mostly your flush as outs...I would dump it after the SB reraises UTG's raise.

    Fold. BTW you played this hand incredibly passively.

    On the flop you have middle pair, no kicker and a weak flush draw. Given the action someone has a bigger piece of the board than you do and someone else probably has a better flush draw than you do.

    In any case, I think calling the SB's bet is okay but once you see mick's raise and TIENSTOI's reraise it's time to pack it up.

    Most people correctly say that flopping a pair and 8+ out draw is a great flop and generally it is, but your pair and draw are both weak and are probably not goot in face of the action. Better to pick a better spot to play for stacks.

    Wowzers... I was telling myself 'fold' after each re-raise, but as I scrolled down, I kept seeing call.. call.. call. I would have folded after SB's re-raise. You are not looking at good odds to call for a flush, and if you hit one of your 5 other outs in improving your pair of 8's - it probably still isn't good to win the pot.

    When one person raises a re-raise, it's a standard fold if your hand is not up to par as this one. You don't know when or if the raising is going to stop... so it's time to let go of your weak weak hand.
