Villain is a little too loose pf but seems to play reasonable post.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Button ($18.30)
SB ($25.90)
Hero ($26.80)
UTG ($69.05)
MP ($25.30)
CO ($20.05)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Button calls $0.25, SB completes, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $1.25</font>, Button calls $1, SB folds.

Who raises more here?

Flop: ($2.75) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $1.75</font>, Button calls $1.75.

I would usually bet more like 2.25 here but decided to switch it up as 1.75 is my usual continuation bet with something likie AK . After his call i feel hes got clubs, a medium q, or slowplaying an 8.

Turn: ($6.25) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $3.75</font>, Button calls $3.75.

Again i bet small. Im giving him odds to draw to his flush, but im also almost certain hes raising an 8 here(and only an 8) so i felt betting small would make it super easy to get away from a raise. After my bet he uses time bank and says in chat "big hand popeye?" IM now like 95% certain hes got a weak queen.

River: ($13.75) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $4</font>,

I bet small here cause he wanted to fold so bad on the turn and i want him to make a "well its so small lets see what he has" call.

Final Pot: $21.75
