No comment on the hand..just wanted to give you the heads up that your screen name is still showing, and it looks like you want to keep it hidden.

Or did he? Could be a metagame thing.

Re: sugar, we\'re going down swinging
 

Now that's a LAG hand. I pull the old triple bluff with a draw every once in a while, but it is usually at least an open-ended straight draw that I semibluffed the turn with after betting the flop, then got to the river and figured a scare bet had a high chance of taking it down. I have twice this week done it against tight players and got caught both times. Welcome to Dingleberry, population: me. It's a terribly expensive play when it goes wrong. One can live a long and pleasant life as a pro and never use this play.

Another tactic in this hand: call preflop then go nuts on the flop and turn. Unless UTG flopped a set, he should not be committed. Also, in a 9-handed game over time those T8s in mid position will end up costing you significantly if your opponents are any good.

Glad it worked for you.
