Re: Crazy Eights

Last man in had A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and rivered me for the flush - I only went all in to give him the worst odds possible hoping draws would fold. ALternatively, if I call, he calls and then turn bricks - then I push...would this change the outcome?

It looks like he would be getting the 4:1 he needs on the turn to call on his draw (or close to it). If you think he'd fold there, you could try that but, if the flush hit on the turn, would you really want to have to fold there and not get to see if you boat up on the river? Nobody played their hand particularly badly, here; sometimes you've just got to put it in and gamble. If you're not comfortable putting your money in here, you can't play optimally.
EDIT: If you just call and he overcalls and the flush hits on the turn, you pretty much have to call all-in hoping for a boat on the river. Basically, nobody's going anywhere here.
