would YOU back your stack with TPTK?

Villain in this hand is a typical LAG, but he's by no means a maniac. I took down the last three hands pre-flop with a raise, so villain might be playing back at me here. I don't know. But I suspect that I messed up pretty bad. Any comment would be greatly appreciated.

What you mean is whether I'd back HIS stack with TPTK. And with these relative stack sizes & his LAG-ed out ways... [censored]. That's tough. That board is rife with possibilities. You can either fold to his min-checkraise or get out... and given the size of his stack, I'd probably pay him off 100% of the time. He hasn't got quite enough behind him to keep me from doubling him up in this situation. Results?

He had Q8 off-suit, and my hand was good.

Nod. Like I said, I think I'm gritting my teeth and putting him all the way in 100% of the time here. I can't imagine I'm less than even money to win this hand. What made you so concerned? In answer to your question, I'll back my stack w/ TPTK quite a bit. Missed flush draw, huh? Nice try, buddy...
