Button at Seat 6.

Hero stands pat. UTG stands pat.

Hand: [2d 6s 4h 7d 5c]

Round 4: ($88.80)

No action, HU w/all-in.

Total pot: ($88.80)

The multiway limped pot was kind of odd, most pots were being HU or 3way with a small raise. I didn't have anything on UTG.

After I catch the #4, I decided to bet rather than c/r as I probably get more money from 8s, and a check around would be awful. When he raises should I reraise or just call? If I call it would basically be as a slowplay, discourage him from breaking an 8. I'd CR allin the next round if it went pat/pat. I assume with the pot size this early in the hand I can't get away from the hand even if I just call?

If I made any other errors feel free to tell me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
