Default Re: LO8 Hand

I think its safe to say OP has a firm grasp of promo-raising but in a loose game with 2 (!) players actually knowing 8/ob beyond reading the board it may be -EV...
pot size is key here, as is just reading mike capelleti's articles/book chapter on promo-raising...

pot is huge, which is obv. a double-edged sword-our double-bet risk is more palatable to us-but it is also more likely to get called given size of pot
-ALSO-promoraising a 4-way pot of this size is suicidal-I jist rechecked the action: 4 ppl raise pre, cap flop, and you're going to promo? that ish is ka
thirdly-im going to go ahead and guess that loose guy actually has 2467 or something very similar with a 6 and a shtty flush draw, point being that this is at least as likely as him actually having 23...236x is completely realistic, too
the question is not whether ak folds (I think it has to) but whether a raggy 6 folds (and I think at that limit it NEVER does barring reads)
