I had no reads on anybody - this was my 7th hand - except the guy to my immediate left looked solid, and the big blind appeared to
love going to showdowns with trash. He hadn't shown much aggression before this, though, which is why I only called on the end.
BB's betting pattern doesn't make sense for any hands at all. Even if he's slowplaying eights full or some weird four, then why does he only call the turn raise? I suspect he didn't know what he was doing any more than I did.
I like the way I played this.
