Looking for some input into this hand.

Playing 1/2 at Rama today and have approximately $360 in front. One other big stack has just over $400 and to my left UTG. UTG has been fairly aggressive in pots and will open limp regularly with any pocket pair, suited connectors, suited one gappers, two broadway that he wouldn't raise with 10's or better he would raise A 10+ o and KQo would be a raise as well there.

The big stack limped in UTG and 6 other limpers I'm in the BB with A7 h and checked and we see the hand 8 handed.

Flop is 10h 9h 8s and I lead out $10.... UTG min raises me to $20, everyone folds to the button who makes it $55. Action to me and I make it $100 as the button has about another 80 in front of him and I want to try and isolate him. UTG tanks for what seems like 5 minutes and then shoves. Button calls ..... what is my play. Button has been draining chips but it is possible that he has anything top pair good kicker, top pair and straight draw etc.

What is my move. Pot is approximately $530 and it is almost $248 to me all in.
 
Different people would play this differently. I'm gonna assume one of the two have QJ for the top end which negates your straight draw having the bottom end draw. Obviously the only thing remotely worth considering is the flush draw.

I'm gonna be pissed when the heart comes but I bow out. I wouldn't have re-raised on the come though in the first place so what do I know.
 
Joe, if you did call you are the reason I can't win at my local room. Everyone I end up squaring off against has never seen a draw they were afraid of or cared what their odds of hitting were. They tend to ALWAYS hit them though when my money is in the middle.

I reraised to put pressure on the agro guy. With his stack I wanted to try and get him out of there. I wanted to get heads up with the guy who can't hurt me as much. If the reraise was bad I appreciate that input as well.

The reraise is questionable. Your original bet was already raised and reraised. You probably should have gotten off of the hand there.
 
Joe, I'm not saying it was bad it just put more pressure on you to make a tougher decision is all. I understand why you made the re-raise just saying I probably couldn't make that play on a draw.

Regardless though I'm not critiquing your play or telling you how to play I was just answering from my perspective. I have given up on telling others how to play their hands or how to risk their money. Well except the asshole in a tournament who is in the hand with me 2 against 1 with the shortstack that is all in and decides he will push with blanks only to lose the pot and triple up a guy who would have been eliminated. I still insult that basturd cause it's just so STUPID.
 
Thank you Monkey FOcker, this is the stuff I want to hear.....

Getting away for $6 would have been downright cheap, as folding after the re raise cost me money, and calling and not winning certainly cost me money. The only possible winner is to draw out.
