Re: Relevant example and comments?
I think your hand doesn't have much to do with the original post by Tim, since it's a multi-way, unraised pot. Completely different situation, that asks for a much more cautios play.
When you call on the button with your Q8s, you are looking to flop a BIG hand, to bust someone out if he has a 2nd best hand. You flopped TP marginal-kicker. Very far from amazing. People can have virtualluy anything there (8 people in the pot!), and there's a chance someone is slowplaying trips, or 2p (from the blinds), higher PP, or TP better-kicker. Your push is certainly a mistake, IMO. You are risking everything in a multi-way *unraised* pot, with pretty marginal holdings for this situation. True, you were ahead at that point, and got a loose call, but there's really no reason in betting more than the pot, and see where it's going. Again, when you first called PF - this is NOT the hand you're looking to bust on.
