betting and getting raised by 8X would suck b/c we have plenty of outs. checking and seeing it check through sucks also. b/c? c/c?

Why does having it check through suck? I like check call.

b/c for value

quoted for agreement.


while an 8 is certainly within villain's range, there are also a heap of hands that are in villain's range that do not contain an 8.

in addition, even if villain does have an 8, there's no certainty that he would raise.

[Daddy Warbucks]

Actually, stoving it, i like betting and calling a push.

If he calls and river blanks out though, then i'm a bit stuck.

that's why imho a c/c on turn is better - as long as you do the same with an 8 in your hand.

as played I block bet the river and fold to a push if it's a passive fish - against an aggro fish I c/c

b/c we have flush and boat outs as well as a gutshot
