I bragged I made the right play, but was it?
 

CAZ 20 playing extra loose and loony with a bunch of, well never mind. I won't bother with player descriptions. Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting.

Couple limpers, MP 2-bets, bunch of callers, SB (ok, she's more solid than the rest of them) 3-bets with what can only be Aces or Kings for sure and I call the 2 more w/ 10[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in what will be an 8 handed pot.

Flop: 10[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

SB bets, I raise.

Good, Bad, Ugly?

This only seems good if your raise has a real chance of cleaning up some of your outs. Once the pot is that big, it seems that anyone who would call one bet will call two also...certainly no pair/gutshot/overcards/Ace of spades will fold, assuming the players are bad like the Commerce kind of bad that I'm used to.

I would just call.

Au contraire, if he's getting 7 to 1 on his money then every additional dollar bet is +EV as long as he has more than a 1/8 chance of winning.

Call. Not sure sense bloating pot w/ marginal hand at this point.

Re: I bragged I made the right play, but was it?
 

you think SB has KK or AA for sure. SB confirms this by betting out into 7 other players, The pot is huge meaning that neither loonies nor thinking players are going to fold any piece of the flop or less to your raise and it is almost certain to get reraised by someone else or SB for sure.

What are you trying to accomplish with your raise?

This appears to be an easy call unless I am missing something.

I think it's fine.

Why?

Re: I bragged I made the right play, but was it?
 

I thinks it's good. Sounds like you'll be in for a wild ride on this hand, so might as well raise now just in case some of them are willing to fold. You're gonna have odds to see the turn whether you raise now or have to call a raise when in comes back to you, so take the aggressive option.

Re: I bragged I made the right play, but was it?
 

Why do you want them to fold if anything you want more players in because according to you, you are behind at this point.

You think what is fine? Calling two more pre-flop with T-8 against a hand that can only be aces or kings, or raising with a pair of tens against it?
