Re: Aggressive with 88 from EP
I seriously think what you basically did was insure you got more money in with the worst of it.
You were most likely a nice favorite on the flop and your check just gave him a free card. When the ace hits you are now definitely behind whatever hand he is holding. Players at this level won't let hands go here to a check raise, they need to showdown every hand they 3bet, it's compulsive. So basically you managed to avoid betting when you had the best of it, and then get 2big bets in when you were drawing to 8.x outs. There is only a small chance of getting a free showdown when you check to him, and if you hit the str8 there is almost no chance of you getting 2 bets in on the river.
