I think you had the right idea against the wrong player.
From your description of SB, you need to raise and then quickly run over and hit him in the head with a pipe. And he STILL gets his chips on the table before losing consciousness. If he dies, it's probably in his will to call your turn and river bets.

Nice post! Agree.

I still like this way of playing it but I think I check this turn with the intention of showing down my 8 or spiking an A -- and hey, why not bluff-raise the river if the guy you've read for a flush draw takes a stab?

SB is highly unlikely to fold this turn unless he has maybe 55.
