In this hand i was BB holding A,8. SB raised and i called.
flop was 9,10,10 and he bets-what do i do?

1. If i call i dont charge enough his K,J, but if i raise i could get reraised...

you can be reraised again but nevertheless A8 is strong enough and is actually a mandatory 3bet against the wide SB Openraising-Range. don't be scared and go ahead and use your edge comprehensively. on that board you have to call. you have hidden outs to bust a pocketpair and you are ahead against Q and K high Hands. folding would be a big mistake. call and see what the turn brings. on the A it's ok to just call down since your kicker doesn't count and you even split the pot against his lower aces. on blanks on turn and river you are commited to see the showdown unless you have a certain read that your opponent commonly does give up unimproved and just rarely bluff through.
