View Full Version : Bully betting into monster, smooth call?

I played this hand recently and am curious whether or not i played it correctly. I have 25$ at a 10 handed table. A guy min-raises in early position. On the button i call with 8s 8d . Flop comes 8h 4s 2c . The guy in early postion, who i know to be an aggressive player, bets the pot which is at about $3.5 right now. What is the move here, obviously i have the best hand and the only thing i really need to protect against is an overpair catching a set, but since he is very aggressive it is probably that he only has two overcards and i am an extremely high favorite. How do you think you get the best of this hand? Calling and hope he continues to bet on the turn or raise now and risk him folding?

This is a limit forum, you'll get a better response in the NL forum.

Anyways, the pot size bet is often a bluff or a mediocre overpair (TT, JJ) trying to take the pot down quickly. I would call and let him fire a second bullet on the turn.
