Good fold. How did you know the flush would come in like that?

bah!
dude just own up to wearing the fancy pants!!! (j/k)

you were sunk no matter what methinks.

but in any case, i do think betting this particular flop is better than attempting to check raise. oh wait, you didn't even check raise the flop!!!!!

If you look closely you will see that checking the flop allowed button to play and make a set of 8s on the turn.

Betting this must be the bettor play. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Flush beating me on the river is beside the point.

yeah. betting the flop is better. one could possibly argue that a 6 way flop gets checked around exactly never and someone would bet allowing you to either check raise a LP bettor to drive people out or a EP bettor to pump the pot. however, screw that, betting is better imo. you might have even folded 88 though i doubt it.

hi &amp; welcome

the numbers refer to stats from the pokertracker software program. the first is VPIP (voluntarily put $ in the pot %), the second is PFR (preflop raise %), and the third is postflop aggression factor. there is more info on these stats and what they mean in the Microlimit FAQ thread which is stickied on the first page of the forum (by btspider).

thanks. good to know. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
