    He probably hit two pair, I'm thinking. Considering the pot size is relatively small I let that one go.

    Plus you still have the guy who checked in front of you and the guy who cold called your 12.5 bet left to act.

    You're only ahead of Q8 K8 A8 99 TT JJ QQ here. A good read would boot out about 4-5 possibilities leaving TT JJ, and possibly 99. Are you willing to gamble he not only has one of these hands, but would become THAT aggressive with them? I'm folding this. If he's a douche so be it. You'll get his money later.

    Think about this.... Would someone so aggressive as to come over the top of you with 99 TT JJ or QQ here smooth call those hands preflop? He might with 99 and TT, but not JJ and QQ. Just some more reasons to fold IMO.
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

    i dont like betting the pot outright here on the flop. kinda hamstrings you. you bet the pot so youre 100% certain you have to fold i guess. now you know, so fold.

    value bet = betting the value of your opponents hand. trying to take the pot down immediately is weak in most cases.
