Off to preflop raising school for you...4xBB + 1bb per limper...use it as a default until you stop going broke on hands like this.

I'm not sure how I play this but I don't think your hand is good when the turn [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] falls.

I think the min-raise = an 8.

Maulik was right about the min-raise...

Vilain showed 98o w/ trip 8's

Luckily, I caught my flush with an extra club to be let off the hook this time.

AJ ... could you go into more detail about the extra raising? I've been playing with it, but it doesn't seem to matter a whole lot.
