Re: Failing to control the pot size. Did I make that mistake here?
I think people are being too reckless with this hand and 300BB+ stacks.
Call the flop. Let him bluff away at a blank turn. If it blanks and he checks, you bet.
Check behind the turn. Snap off his bluff on the river, if he checks again make a value bet.
I don't see you getting paid here by hands you beat unless you let him lead at the pot. The price you pay for drawing the bluff is risking that he hits a two outer on the river.
I think most importantly though you don't want end up playing a huge pot with the 8 high flush on a paired board.
FWIW, I like the preflop play here alot. If you show this hand you will slow him down alot.
