Set o\' Eights
MP is loose pre-flop (and fairly passive) and very passive post-flop. Comments are appreciated.
Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises</font>, CO calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls, BB calls.

Re: Set o\' Eights
I think you gotta 3-bet that turn. Only reasonable hands you are behind are 99 and QQ, and BB might well call two cold here.
The way this played out, I think leading the river is good. You get to 3bet if he has a Q, and he might check behind with AA or KK, when the board pairs, and even if a checkraise was succesfull, you could end up making the same if the river donk could elicit a weak call from BB. |

Re: Set o\' Eights
he's that passive that the turn raise means definitely 99, QQ, or JT? i suppose playing any of those hands like that is possible from him, but i can't think of any player i wouldn't 3-bet the turn against.

I just checkraise the river. He's showing a lot of strength here on the turn, and 3x gaybets get everybody nervous.

Re: Set o\' Eights
I love a river check raise here. MP is representing a straight, so no way he is checking through. If he JUST as a queen, he's going to bet as well.

[/ QUOTE ] I am not sure; that is the problem. A lot of players you could see playing AQ or KQ this way, but I don't see MP raising the turn with just TPTK after I have shown such strength and there is still one other player in the hand to contend with. I also see two pair holdings as fairly unlikely. Still, I felt kind of sick not re-raising the turn. |

Re: Set o\' Eights
the only possible reason i'm not rerasising the turn is to keep the other guy in, certainly not because i think i'm beat.
Given that, i'm raising the turn. Given how it played out, i like the river check-raise |

[/ QUOTE ] The thought of the sexy certainly went through my mind and I think that is what I probably should have done. I was of course worried about it getting checked through. But if villain does have the straight that I was worried about, he should not necessarily be too concerned by the board pairing given the way I played the turn. |

Re: Set o\' Eights
i don't think there is anything wrong with betting out, the river check raise is easily overused. I like it here, but betting out certainly isn't "bad".
