Default Re: A8s from MP I might have screwed up every street

I think your play in the hand is fine.

I'm not sure what's best on the river. I think BB most likely has two pair or better (though a big ace can't be ruled out). And you beat most two-pair hands here. He could have a set instead, though, and hands like 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] can't be ruled out either.

I'd probably just call, because I wouldn't want to pay off a 3-bet (which I would probably do). Also, if you hadn't noticed much about BB, then he's quite likely a player whose turn checkraises really do mean a big hand.

Edit: And if his turn checkraise was a semi-bluff, well, he may have just made his hand.
