Reraise the turn (unless you can't in which I really see no other way to play this).

Re: 88 raised then capped
 

wouldn't let me reraise the turn..

calling the extra 2 bets on the flop was ok?

Re: 88 raised then capped
 

Getting 6:1 as worst possible odds if they end up capping the flop, I think the flop call is perfect. Villains are on big pairs just about always so you are close to having 10 clean outs.
Worst case scenario you are up against A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and 99 in which case you have 6 outs, but still have odds to see the turn for 4 bets.

Can't see any other way to play it. nh.

You had the odds to call preflop.

I'd reraise the turn, the rest looks good.

SB's all-in is only $.25 more than your raise so it counts as a call, not a 3bet. This is pretty standard and has nothing to do with the software.

Re: 88 raised then capped
 

Since SB is shortstacked I would raise the flop expecting SB to cap and put max. pressure on BB.

Re: 88 raised then capped
 

cant play it any different. folding preflop even if BB had folded would be passing up definite EV, with him in u have huge set odds.

Look at it this way, besides the bets u put in postflop the final pot laid u 16:1 on ur initial call of the cap preflop. Theres no way with a PP u have less than 10% equity preflop unless someone else has 88 too AND ur up against an overpair.

Re: 88 raised then capped
 

I would 3bet the flop. There is still a chance, that you are ahead here, and you really want to get rid of button if he just have overs (AK and stuff like that would actually get a pretty reasonable price to draw if you just call). If you get rid of button and it doesn't get capped, then you will also have the option of taking a free card on the turn.

Totally, completely, standard, all streets.
