Re: (razz) Value raise smooth 8 on 7th?
On 5th, I agree that you you're probably in fairly good shape, but I don't think I'd put in the raise myself. You probably average out to a coin flip there, you're not going to get him to fold, and you might be convincing him to not put stupid bets in on later streets.
On 6th, totally agree with the raise. Obviously when you tie at worst and the villain is loose, you're going to get in as much as possible. (Side note: I think it's possible that he would've been willing to cap here if it hadn't been for the raise on 5th)
On 7th, I'm usually fairly chicken. I'd just call personally, since it's quite possible he had a draw to something better than an 8 high. Unless you're fairly certain he was drawing dead, I think it's a somewhat risky play.
