You do anything differently?

You have 250 hands on him... if there's a &gt; 40% chance he's betting two pair or worse here, call. If not, fold. I probably fold river myself because of the turn minraise, but top set is an awfully tough hand to get away from.

What do you think about betting like 10$ on the river and folding to a raise? Do you think Villain is capable of bluff raising you?

No, but if he has any set, 2-pair etc. he'll raise thinking he has the best hand.

You can't love the min-raise on the turn, obviously, but I think you played this well. There aren't that many hands with an 8 that makes sense for him to call the flop except for J8 and he could easily have two pair or a lower set. I this your line is fine. Good job staying aggressive on the turn.

Looks fine to me.

I agree with you that he played the hand fine, not much else he could do. However, there are plenty of hands w/an 8 that make sense for villain to call with on the flop.

Call the turn min raise and fold the end unimproved. I don't think I've ever seen 100NL opponent raise on a four straight board without the straight. When you bet the turn, you said "I have the straight" and when he raised he said "I have also have the straight do you really have it?"
