An 8 that didnt bet the flop? something like A8s, 87s perhaps. Better question: can an 8 call?

Why would an 8 bet the flop?

As far as can a bad hand call in a small pot, the answer is yes. Bad players don't really pay attention to pot size. They will most often however realize that you didn't miss a flop c/r and try again on the turn.

I try not to get unthinking players to make mistake like this. No, he shouldn't call this raise in a small pot with a weak made hand. But the fact of the matter is he sucks, and we love our seat because he sucks. Giving him credit for being able to make a fold when he probably should is a mistake.

(This of course assumes the button sucks. If he is a good player, then your problem is convincing him that you missed a c/r on the flop and tried again on the turn...)
