[Strongline]

Thanks for the insight to those that offered. If I'm interpreting correctly it seems that pot control is the main issue in this pot. In retrospect I'm satisfied with my flop raise (though maybe it needn't be quite so large). I feel like checking behind that turn was probably optimal and truthfully it was my gut reaction during the hand. Villain and I had been involved in a few raised pots previously and in my mind an 8 and/or 3 made up a very small portion of his range. With his flop call I had narrowed his range to something like 99-TT and was betting the turn for value (or so I thought).

I've been reading 2+2 for a while, but this is the first hand I've gotten around to posting for myself. I appreciate the objectivity.
