Re: 888 on the Flop
[ QUOTE ]
harsher responses than I thought.
My thoughts. Button would have raised with a high pair especially after 2 limpers. So I thought there was a good chance he had an underpair and raised to protect his small house. Outside chance he limps 99 here though. Maniac, I frankly did not care about. If he had a pair, he'd have raised preflop. I thought he had overs. If he has the case eight, so be it.
Feel free to criticize this thought process . . .

Ok...since you asked.
Your line wins the least against hands that are drawing dead against you, and loses the most against hands that have you crushed. This is a WA/WB situation as it's relatively assured that he didn't raise with just overs. You are beating 22-66 and it has only running quads to beat you, and you have only running quads to beat 99-AA....I call down here. If he checks to me on the turn I consider a value bet.
