I love your subject line.

That is all.

I was gonna say the same thing. This is, without a doubt, the most clever subject line I've seen for a hand.

Cool title. I'll read your hand.

Easy preflop raise.

Too passive with MPTK. I like call and raise the turn brick.

Bet the river and if Villain has an ace I'm sorry. With a PFR of 6 this will happen sometimes, but you've shown no strength postflop and can expect to be called by some unpaired hands as well as eights, threes, and small pockets.

"I don't know why you raised preflop. A guy that raises that little is likely limping weak aces & kings & low pocket pairs from the SB, mostly hands that have you beaten..."

um did you see that VPIP of 52? there's a lot of other stuff he is likely playing as well. EASY raise pf. I'd raise ALMOST ANYONE who completes SB and I am holding K8 int he BB.

I was going to reply to say the same thing. A guy like this would complete with a very wide range of hands (especially because it hasn't folded to us in the blinds yet so he hasn't learned that I will usually raise if he completes). He would still raise with many of his good hands. As a result, from the fact that he limped I think he may even have weaker than a purely random hand here.

Default RESULTS

I think I've been convinced that I should have raised the turn. I have thought it over and this does seem to be the best play.

For any one who cares, the actual result was that he had T8o with no spade and MHIG.
