Playing in my second session at the Bellagio this weekend. $15-30HE, I am on the button.
Dimitri, young pretty good local player, 2 to my right open raises. In the cutoff to my direct right is another local, Benny, pretty fast and aggressive makes it three bets. The rest of us clear out and they take the flop headsup.
Both players have two to three racks in front of them, been talking alot and this situation arises.
Flop: AT3 rainbow
It goes bet, raise, reraise, reraise, reraise, reraise, reraise, reraise, call. Yes, eights bet on the flop.
Turn is an offsuit 8. Board: AT38
Dimitri leads out and Benny calls.
River: 3 Board: AT383
Bet and call.
Dimitri turns over A8 for two pair. Benny looks at his cards and grins, bends them and it looks like AK.
So, any rationale for the eight bet flop? I discussed with some other 2+2 and RGPers. What do you think?
