Well, villian has 88 and MHING...Got him back later when I turned a set of queens against ANOTHER slowplayed set. Felt good, I mean real good.

Hitting your 2-outer felt good after you over bet TPTK against a set of 8s? Huh, can we play heads up sometime?

A pf raise lets you better define what he has. If he calls, most likely he has some sort of A-big or he's got a PP hoping to spike a set. You can better understand what is going on when he cold calls your flop bet.
