Semibluff sniffs out slowplayer (PS 30/60)

Is the turn silly? I though my nitty image plus flat call on the flop set it up well.

But the problem is you have one trapped between, if you were HU on the turn, I'd like it more as you folding equity would be higher.

If you got a nitty image, then just raise the flop for a likely free card, sure seems you've got great value w/your overs and flush draw.

River plan is fine, hope he didn't slow ride A8 on the flop.

I agree that raising the flop here is the textbook play. I didn't do it because I knew the SB was FOS and I wanted him to keep coming. The perfect situation would be if he bets the turn and it's folded to me, but I didn't get that. On the other hand, my raise really looks strong now, I think SB is going to fold, and maybe I can get some lemming carryover when the SB folds to make KT fold a small pair or something (he has to have some outs if not already ahead). At least that's what I was thinking.
