I think he will fold overcards to this raise. That is the purpose of the raise. Also to allow myself a cheap river card.

But what's the point of taking a cheap river card? If you are behind you only have 2 outs anyway (besides runner runner), and the way you played the flop/turn you're conceding the pot anyway to a river bet, which I think sucks because not only do you not get better hands to fold on the flop, but you also let some worse hands win (if the guy is playing 78 or A6 or something).

Ok, I can see your point there xorbie. Can you provide me with a better line to take? What would be your plan of action for this hand?

I'm not really sure to be honest, I hate this spot too. I would probably raise the flop hard, because at this point I can't count on any card higher than 8 as all that safe if I just smooth call (as CO could be raising just about any overcards). If he calls, I'm done with the hand.

Raise flop to $300. Push turn.
