jesus, it's 87s and it's 23bb more. I know you're deep, the pot odds aren fairly attractive and that you have the villain on a narrow range, but have you thought about what you're doing on 8-high flops and with flush draws/gutshots/where you miss totally/where you raise and is called?

Having got there raising flop is ok but I like calling better, both looks really strong. I'd bet 1/2 pot on a blank turn and shove any non-K/A river if he calls the turn and checks river.

Also wtf - are you after advice or do you want a medal for making a straight vs AA after calling off 32bb preflop with 87s? I think preflop is really bad, the flop is good (in that calling is better than raising imo). Now you just go nuts having made your hand on the turn.

LOL I'm less concerned with recieving a medal than I am recieving all of BB's chips. This hand is interesting because it's possible to raise each street, but what play yields the best return?

To answer your question, I will likely fold an 8 high flop, unless it's like 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6h 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. That's the only type of flop that could possibly get me in a heap of trouble. Maybe 10-15% of the time I'll raise the flop on a bluff regardless of texture.

So what I'm trying to determine is do I raise/shove the turn or smoothcall again?
