Re: 27T: Call river shove on possible straight board?
The "fix" here usually lies in the betting amounts, but TFG's bet sizing looks ok to me. I suppose you might bet pot on turn, but he bet close, and that doesn't really make river that much easier. Unless villain has 68s or 89s as a total donk, Q8s also as a donk, 88, or a set (should have raised turn, so I'm ruling this out), we are good. Since 88 is the only real hand I fear here, I think we can call this profitably, as shorties love to shove all in when they have no other way to win the hand. Also, I agree with c/c on river, as blocking here should stop all pure bluff attempts and you'll still have to call when he shoves without a sick read.
