Re: Tough Decision in nitely grand
 

wtf is hard about this decision (all-in)? and also why do you guys want to bet the turn? i think it's a good check-behind.

Re: Tough Decision in nitely grand
 

Why bet the turn you ask? Because he's called the flop bet, likely has some kind of draw, the 8 shouldn't scare him, you want to build the pot at this point, plus you want him to pay dearly for his draws.

Re: Tough Decision in nitely grand
 

shove he has T9.

Re: Tough Decision in nitely grand
 

You have to call at the very least. You have a good hand here, folding trips here is way too passive. Your check on the turn was bad. With flush/str8 draw out there, You should play your trips fast here, not slow. If he pulled the str8 or flush out on you, consider it a lesson to not check the turn in these situations and give your opponent a free card to draw out on you.

Re: Tough Decision in nitely grand
 

whatever, the turn check isnt that bad. its not like there are any draws whatsoever.

he has 33/55-88/T9 here 90% of the time.

Re: Tough Decision in nitely grand

Don't let him back door you again, bet the turn.
