I wait to raise the turn with 88. Things don't go so well from there.

Ok, I figured I botched it by not raising the flop, thanks all for setting me straight.

My thinking was I wasn't folding the pre-flop raiser off of overs on the flop (based on the play I had seen from him thus far) so I figured I kind of needed the turn raise to be the spot to protect my hand, and well, things fell apart from there.

The reasons you guys have given to prefer the flop raise make sense, and will probably better define my opponents hands as well. So, next time I take a shot at this level, hopefully I get it right. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks again,
