Re: Hand with Chief

Yeah, in that case, cap it and call a bet on the river. He probably won't pay off with a worse 8 unless it's K8, and you could be staring a full in the face, which means you'd be getting 3-bet here.

That was my thought. I told him after the hand that I fold anything worse than exactly K8 and even that I thought was close. I considered it a crying call with A8 as was because I didn't think he should have raised the river.
I believe there was one other opponent who hung around until my turn 3-bet though so he could have capped the turn. Since I may 3-bet the turn with 8x then that's a better option IMO because I'm not leading the river with 8x and he doesn't have to worry about a reraise on the turn. But I had a few drinks by then and I could be wrong about the third opponent.
I think if you look at the combinations it probably doesn't look too bad because he's good pretty often after the turn 3-bet. But as you point out, I'm not paying off with much he beats.
