Default Re: Flopped A Set... Did I Miss A River Bet?

Let me start off by recognizing that my preflop call with 8-8 was probably poor given that the pot was small. I probably should have either raised or folded preflop.

To me, this is the most important part of your post. Yes, you have an easy raise with 88... but no, it's most definitely NOT a raise or fold situation. Folding is terrible. Calling, while not as good as raising, is significantly better than folding.

When you are in late position, you should be aching to play hands when it is still one bet to you. Pocket eights is way enough hand. Folding shouldn't enter your brain.
