SB checks, HERO?

checking is fine. i really want to show down but i would also hate putting 4 bets in here.

[Bicker]

My inexpert thinking... We're looking at two other players, both of whom really liked that 8s. I have to figure that both of them either have a flush or a straight or else they're total fish. Pretty much any flush beats you and you beat the straights. I'd check this one. I'm assuming after I check, that button is going to bet. If SB raises, I'd seriously consider folding since I can't imagine raising this river if I had the straight.

Bet. There are a lot of possible two pair, straight, straight + fd, and set (sb) hands that can explain the heavy turn action. Your hand is good most of the time here.

[Broom]

With no reads, bet and call a raise.

What do you do if you bet and it comes back two more bets to you? FWIW I also advocate bet/call. PLayers will do very stupid things with a ten here or two pair + fd etc.

River = bet.

Pre-flop: Is calling a SB raise, getting 5:1, three way, standard for everyone?
