7/8b hand 2

[fnord_too]

Does anyone else decide to drive at this small pot no one seems to want? (Obviously the river bet is trying to get a better hand to fold.) Is the 5th street bet believable (i.e. I think if I had a 4 flush on 4th with those boards I bet, so the 5th street lead does not seem to hard to read for a "since no one else wants it, and I can't call if the open kings bet" bet. The fact that I am betting into open kings gives it a little credence, maybe I started with something like (85)8, which I wouldn't, but I am thinking my lead doesnt represent anything other than a strong draw here, which is what I have, and the pot is not big enough to call if seat 3 bets I think. Meh, this is looking more like spewing).

Also, should I just go ahead and bet fourth, folding to a c/r? That at least sets up my bets on later streets.
