seat 7 is very short. he is so bad i don't even care that he's in the pot.
seat 8 has a clue and is passive and won't value bet thin, ever. he also is free equity and won't fold when behind when it's only one bet to him.
in the live games i play, i occassionaly play PLS8 and in this case, i would definitely fire a pot-sized bet on the river. but i'm playin limit tonight. . . who likes a value/bluff on the river for the side pot?

Total pot: (12.80 BB - $128)
i thought fourth, fifth, and the river had some stuff to talk about.
on fourth, who likes a raise to iso and hopefully get a 3 bet by the shorty? I decided against it to keep seat 8 in and also because I was probably behind seat 7.
fifth: if i caught bad i wanted to dump it, but everybody's board looks bad...high five i guess. folding didn't feel right at the time.
sixth: easy to play
seventh: what is hte proper play against a loose but bad player. I bet this river purely as a bluff, knowing if I got called I'd probably get chopped or worse, scooped. With the side pot there, is it worth it?
I also would fold fifth against regular stud8 players but we had been playing enough that i felt i'd get paid on sixth/seventh if i caught good and others caught bad, (it's too bad 2/400 players don't play like this)
