what do you guys think about this? 78s played aggr

i wasn't sure about betting the river b/c a bunch of hands could have beat me here, i was a little aggro preflop by raising this, i came in as a post so i took a shot with 78s. I figured not many limpers so if i was going to play it raise

I like it, but I would 3-bet the river for value.

I don't like the pfr. You want a multiway pot with this hand, so why try to drive out the blinds?

I'm not sure if I like the pfr raise either. I'd 3-bet the river, his play is more consistent with a J or T rather than a flush.

i'd limp PF and check-raise the river.. calling a 3-bet.

I very much dislike the preflop raise. 8-high is not a hand that you want to be attempting isolation raises with.

Flop, turn, and river are all good.

Can we expect Button to bet his hand for value here often? If so, would it be better to check-raise in order to:
a) Try to get 1 bet out of UTG+1
b) get a max of 3 bets in here. (I think a flush or a boat caps against us, while trips won't, but all will raise)

thanks, i screwed up preflop by raising a drawing hand, i might have been tilting slightly
