    Default TPGK suited flop, donkbet into with another behind.

    UTG is loose and has been limping a fair variety of stuff preflop - weak aces, suited cards etc.

    BN - no real read.

    Thoughs appreciated on the best course of action.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (7 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    BB (t1345)
    UTG (t520)
    MP1 (t4705)
    Hero (t1330)
    CO (t1415)
    Button (t2505)
    SB (t1680)

    Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A, Q.
    UTG calls t30, 1 fold, Hero raises to t100, 1 fold, Button calls t100, 2 folds, UTG calls t70.

    Flop: (t345) 7, 8, A (3 players)
    UTG bets t90...

    Ugh, I really hate these spots. No one has AK, and you have to assume you are lucky enough to have raised out A8 and A7. I'm feeling like he is afraid of the flush here but may have flopped A10, Aj, Aq with a spade draw and is hoping to probe the hand and get great odds to chase.

    With a player behind you, I either stick out a raise and fold to a reraise and be very wary of a call or i just much this right now as its only cost me 100 so far.

    I would reraise to 250/300. I'm going all the way with UTG, but would like to see biggie fold first.

    Villian's bet - less then 1/3 of the pot is extermly wierd.

    I would call it. You are probably ahead, and even if he has A8/A7 you have 12 outs.
    However your hand is marginal and I dont want to risk too much, I call and see what the turn brings

    You mention that UTG has been limping a bunch of hands pre-flop, however does he also like to lead out on the flop and/or does he fold to aggression on the flop? I have played with quite a few loose players who also like to lead out on the flop, but will fold to a raise if they haven't hit anything.

    At this point I think you are ahead and have a stronger draw (I don't think he has the K of Spades) than he does. I would put in a raise of about 150 to 200 and watch see what he does. If he comes over the top you know he flopped a set or flush and can act accordingly.
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

    I would raise for sure. A lot of times this is a flush draw trying to get a cheap card.
