NH...you felt solid about your read then made the move. I'm amazed that you could be so sure about your read on 8 players. It seems that regardless of read, the randomness of cards and pot size would make you show down at least pair to drag the pot.

ding. effing. ding.

lets take it to the books: 14.5bb to you on the turn. getting 7.25:1 you need to take the pot down, RIGHT THERE 12.12% of the time. EDIT: each has a shared calling responsibility of 1.55% of the time. if one of them fulfills that responsibility, your break even % winning goes up. the chance of you taking it down RIGHT THERE is so slim its not worth your entire hourly rate (if you an amazing player in a live game) to try this move.

the one thing the quote i put up said was wrong was "NH"...you were lucky.

i respect your play matt and maybe you did have some read on all 8 players...but i doubt it.
