dont 3 bet the flop and flop with the 2nd overcard

Re: Please tell me how I should have played 88
 

This is how I play this:

Complete the SB and see the flop cheaply.

flop: Bet, Raised... Fold.

Or...
Flop:Check, Fold.

Why bet turn then fold river ?

You read Hellmuth's book or something?

Fold the flop.


If you're going to blow that many chips, you may as well blow another BB and call the river.

Re: Please tell me how I should have played 88

Re: Please tell me how I should have played 88

Re: Please tell me how I should have played 88
 

Explain to me why you 3 bet the flop.

Re: Please tell me how I should have played 88
 

ill tell you why he three bet the flop because he thinks helmuth is the greatest player to ever play the game

Re: Please tell me how I should have played 88
 

I don't raise preflop.

I bet the flop and fold to the raise.
