88 your play?
just sat down at table, no reads
okay... a few questions. 1.) do most of you raise preflop here? 2.) raise the flop or just call? 3.) turn and river are played fine right?

Re: 88 your play?
I just call preflop since you cannot isolate anymore and I raise the flop, the board is semi coordinated and the pot is big enough to start knocking out people.

Re: 88 your play?
preflop is goot. value, get a free card on flop, increase pot to hit your set and odds to draw.
flop: gotta raise. yes you have a set, but letting a straight/flush draw play cheap is bad. plus you could get MAD action from a lower set or a goofy played AA or something. |

Re: 88 your play?
There are two players to act after you on the flop. Your raise will protect against gutshots, which is what you want to protect against. Flush draws will probably coldcall anyway, so you'll just get more value here. The pot is large, but it is not ridiculous. I think raising the flop is fine.

[/ QUOTE ] You aren't isolating preflop, you are raising 5 limpers with a PP. When you flop a set, you get anyone with 1 pair chasing while drawing dead. This is one of those hands where I'd bet everytime it was my turn. If another spade hits the river, then I will slow down. |

Re: 88 your play?
1) I value-pfr here. Why is everyone limping? I think the pot bloating factor, the possible free flop card, our position, and the slim loss of value in a raise even when playing solely for set outs makes this a raise.
2) Raise the flop for value and be less than astounded when several people cold-call with the worst of it. 3) Yeah, fine IMO. |

[/ QUOTE ] it has been probably discussed before many times, but I don't see any reason to raise since your equity is only 8% of the current pot (maybe a little bit more since once in a blue moon your pair of 8s will hold up). You need 12 limpers for the raise to be correct. |
