Default Re: 88 in EP. (Stars $20 Deepstack) Oh, and i\'m a calling station.

Preflop.
Raising and calling are both fine. I'd dislike the raise if players behind you had you covered, but they dont, so im down.

Flop.
I like. Sometimes I'll bet here, a normal cb but also I want LP to fold and maker the hand easier. There's nothing wrong with your line though.

Turn.
You catch a really good card for your hand and he makes another small bet, you are either crushed or ahead. Obviously this is the real decision point. If you call here you are pretty much committed to closing your eyes and calling any riverbet. I dont love the spot that you get yourself into here, but im ok with following through and calling down.

River.
After the turn call this is automatic imo. His bet is only half the pot so you are getting 3:1 so you only need to be ahead 1/4 of the time to call. but again, you've created those odds for yourself with the turn decision.
