Re: 20/40: Semi-bluffing and then calling down
[ QUOTE ]
Consider folding on his reraise on 3rd, since he probably has you beat at that point with a higer buried pair. Doing this, you will not have deal with making second best hand.

Third is an easy call.
It is quite possible I am stealing, and he knows that. Consequently, he will probably reraise here with a number of hands. These hands include split 8s (with or without overcard kicker), medium pocket pairs (like 7s and 6s), and three flushes. Of course, his range also includes big pairs. But note the two dead As, one dead K, and one dead Q. I have a jack, so his most likely big pair is TT in the hole, which I'm not in bad shape against because of the overcard J and being able to outplay him later in the hand. He might even have something as weak as (T9)8.
