Interesting hand 10nl How do you play it?

Preflop doesnt matter anyway, its postflop where the money is made/lost.

Preflop matters a lot in NL when in early position.

Now I'm not arguing whether he should or should not have raised T8s utg (really he's in MP), I just wanted to know what his reasoning was.

IMO you played it fine. In general, doing stuff like this at NL10 is -EV but sometimes it's ok. As has been previously mentioned, it depends a lot on the table. Flop is ok. Shoving is also ok but it's high variance. As played, I like the turn play a lot as long as this guy isn't a total station. However, had the turn been a blank you would need to fold to his bet.

I have no problem playing suited 1 gappers if I am pretty sure that I can see the flop for just the price of my raise. I am not going to stack off on a T24 flop or anything like that.
