Fix the action. What limit is this?

Sorry, forgot to take the word "Texas" out for bison's converter. This is 5/10 6 max on party.

Thats how I would play it. But like everyone says I suck.

Thanks for the reply. He had 8's with a ten kicker, so I ended up winning the pot. Just wanted to make sure no one thought I overplayed the turn, or underplayed the river.

I play the same. . . . I might be inclined to raise this preflop

I would raise pre-flop in this situation, if button had a better hand he would have raised. Don't let the BB in for free.

Ive seen this preflop debated with some goods points for both sides, but I still like a raise. The limper here is almost certainly weak and youll get it HU a good percentage of the time with good fold equity.

Does no one 3bet this river?
