Difficult spot with top and bottom pair
BN: $12.20 (Hero)
SB: $10.51
BB: $10.77
UTG: $12.52
HJ: $10.82
CO: $10.34
SB: $10.51
BB: $10.77
UTG: $12.52
HJ: $10.82
CO: $10.34
I've got 49 hands on the BB and 66 hands on the UTG.
The BB is playing 23/19 with AF of 3. Has folded 3 out of 3 to steals but seems like a reg.
The UTG is playing 50/13 with AF of 2.6. Seems like a fish.

The UTG limps and it's folded round to me on BTN. I think raising is the right play here, try to isolate the limper and also for value with an A since he is limping with 50% of hands. The BB calls as well though. His range is going to be a lot tighter, probably broadways and PPs mostly.
Flop
($1.25)
A
8

(3 Players)
BB checks,
UTG bets $1.25,
Hero calls $1.25,
BB raises to $5.60,
UTG raises to $8.70
I think this is a pretty good flop for me, hitting top and bottom pair and I'm ready to go to value town. Surprise though as the fish donks in to me for pot. I'm well ahead of his range, AA, A8, 88 and 22 are the only value hands I should be worred about in his range. 82 is too loose even for him. He may make this play with AK or something, but I think unlikely to do so with a spade draw. I can't see that I can fold, so I elect to call, maybe I should raise here?
Surprise again though as the BB raises and then the UTG re-raises. I don't know what to make of this. BB range is tighter so would expect a lot of Ax, suited broadways or PPs. His AF is 7 OTF and then 1 OTT and OTR so he likes to make moves OTF.

So it comes back round to me with top and bottom pair after the flop has gone, check, bet, call, raise, raise. I think I should fold here after this show of strength, but the fact that one is a fish, and the other a reg who likes to make moves, makes me want to call.
Thoughts? Is this a disciplined fold?
