On that board, I'm thinking he more or less has hit w/ an A8 type of hand or the ilk. I'm thinking a big draw c/r you here.

Nonetheless, you're the PF aggressor and the board is badly draw-y. I'm popping this up to $11 or $12 and if he wants to get it all in, let's dance.

Why do you think $8.50 is better than 12?

Pot is $11.50, no? $8.50 + your would be call of $3 = $11.50 no?

this is pot, you call 3, so 6+5=11 in pot. Then raise 11 over the 3, so pot is ~14 or 15.

I like 12 better.

You play on FT, why not use the bet pot button? Knock 10-20% off and there you have it. That way you don´t make insane raises like to $7. I like $12 myself.

[Stoneflip]

$12 seems to be the consensus.

Its not a particularly drawy board, since the straight is either already there or drawing to a gutshot. The rags are pretty low not many people play connectors this bad. But with a player behind I will try to isolate and make a proper pot raise.
