My Thoughts

First, I always question how to play middle pairs from UTG. The table had been somewhat passive to this point so I thought I might be able to see a flop for cheap, which I did.

The flop was pretty good for 8s I think, so I decided to go ahead and raise.

After the turn checked around and the flop bettor led again, I put him on a 9 w/ no kicker. I wasn't too worried about someone having a 4 or an ace, as I thought an ace would have bet the turn.

I thought I could move the bettor off his 9 with a sizable raise and didn't expect any callers, except possibly the bettor.
