also, fwiw, i guess if he's got 6 live outs then 1/8 times he'll outdraw you on the river when you just call down. is that really worth all the trouble i just described?

Sorry, I dont understand the question.

im referring to the fact that when you raise the flop and bet the turn, he's going to fold all his absolutely nothing hands (e.g KT, J8) that you have beat anyway, and that have a 1/8 shot of outdrawing you on the next card (the river card).

thats the only potentially "good" thing that can come out of this flop raise vs a slew of bad things.

OK, i get ya know. Thanks for explaining.

Obviously I made a hash of this hand, I guess some 'tilt' crept in as I was sick of this short stack betting into pots with nothing, and outdrawing, I decided to make the stand. I should have waited for a better position.
