Note that we are somewhat deep here, and irish has a monster stack, and has been running the table over.

I consider the villian to be one of the strongest players on ub at the 10/25 level. I think he is far stronger HU, but he's good at 6max too. He is on the loose side for sure, and is willing to make big semibluffs if he thinks you are FOS. He plays most draws very fast.

Onto the hand: I have 88 and decide to call his raise from the blinds. Sometimes I 3-bet here this time I decide to call. I flop bottom set, I chk, he bets, I CR. Standard.

He flat calls. This is certainly worrisome, but my hand is usually good here. The turn brings the 10, which is not a great card, it also puts a flush draw on board, and complete some straight hands (although I THINK AQ can be ruled out, though I'm not sure).

What do people usually do on this turn? Is betting a good idea? I decide to fire. And this is where the hand gets very interesting. He min-raises. My action? Was my turn bet idiotic?
