First post here, hope i don't botch the system too badly.

.10/.25, 6 handed, only my 6th hand played. Cutoff seems solid.

I got 8/8 (no spade) on the big blind. Under the gun limps, UTG +1 limps, cutoff limps, small blind completes, i check.

10 spades, 8 spades, 6 of clubs on the flop. I lead for .75, 2 callers, then popped by cutoff to 1.75. I call, UTG raises all in for his last $6, UTG+1 calls, Cutoff raises all in for $30. I really think about folding, worst hand i put him on is 6/6 for a set of 6's. I was very afraid of 79. I guess the money has to go in, but does anyone think about folding? I know I have full house suckouts if needed, but my gut was telling me to fold. UTG+1 calls too. Hoping for flop critiques, i use 8/8 as set mining most of the time. I'll post results later if there is interest.

I never, ever consider foding this.

I'm stacking off every time he has TT and 97. Though this might be a case of slowplayed AA as well.

Now about your hand, first thing is you need to raise it up to 1-.5 because of all the limpers, you need to get some of them out of there especially since your OOP. and as for the flop i think that folding is completely player based but usually i'm calling there.

It will be a great lay down if you fold. If you are not sure, folding is a good option.

Depending on whether your table is loose or tight, pre-flop raising with middle pair can yield different results. I would raise on tight tables and see if I can semi-bluff a weak flop down. On loose tables people are going to call with K2 anyways, so don't bother. And it is quite likely for one of the other people to have 99 and above hands.

My money goes in the pot so fast I probably overshoot and hit them in the face with the chips.

Just a little pointer, it's pretty much impossible to fold a set for 100bb in a raised pot. 3bet (reraise) the cutoff on the flop to $5.50 and do your best to get it all in.

Results (which i pretty much gave away):

UTG: 79
UTG +1: Q9 spades
Cutoff: 79

Even with this worse case scenario, I was 36 percent to win. Ace of spade hits turn, blank on the river, flush took it down.
