raise pre, c/r flop, c/r river....

Re: Sometimes I hate 8-way action.
 

I agree on the raise preflop. If OP had raised preflop though, I wouldn't want to go for the check-raise on the flop. Even going for the check raise as played is iffy - most likely it will get bet, but who knows by whom? One of the most likely bettors on a fairly trashy flop could be the big blind. Do you really feel strong enough with one vulnerable overpair to trap the field for two bets? I think it would be better to lead out and hope to get raised, pricing out the overcard draws.

It was my plan to c/r but when he bet he looked so pleased with himself that I just called like a meek little pussycat.

He made a read. Lay off.

P.S. -- I like a preflop raise too. I'd checkraise the flop and checkraise this river. But I'd be more than willing to turn that into a call if I smelled something. Not that it would happen more than 5% of the time or so.

HB--

Make that image smaller if you can. Makes the thread hard to read.

Also, start raising more. And shoot me a PM if you're ever in NYC.

I'll def let you know if I'm in NYC, tx! I'd like to say hi in person again and have somebody to tell me where the uh, er, unmentionable places are.

Re: Sometimes I hate 8-way action.
 

I just bet the flop.
Your hand equity changes dramtically on the turn, Combined the table has a ton of outs if you have best hand and very few players will fold much even facing two given the huge pot and implied odds.

I probably just would of bet the river but thats b/c people view me as uber tricky and just want to see showdown cheap.
If I "knew" the person would bet I would go for the checkraise. When its a big pot like this losing 1 more bet isn't the end of the world.

no wonder i've heard mid-high stakes players cant always beat typical low stakes.

def raise pf.
go for check-raise on flop esp since you didnt raise pf.
3-bet turn.

Re: Sometimes I hate 8-way action.
 

Sometimes I take your line preflop and not raise... I usually try to rack it up to "varying my play"... but the truth is that I'm just a pansy and feel I need to fade EVERY over card.

However, on the turn I'm definitely 3 betting, crying if he 4 bets.

On river I lead bet if he just called my 3 bet, and check call if he 4 bet me.
