100NL: Raise for value or just call.

[Sean Fraley]

I've always been passive on the river and I feel I need to work on this.

Villain is 31/3/3 and he and I haven't really tangled yet. I have been 3-betting possible steals light but not really showndown any pots.

The board is paired and I don't have the best possible straight, but I don't no if this guy will fold an eight since my turn bet could easily be bluffing a scare card. Is this a raise or am I only getting called by something that beats me?

Very tough, because he could definitely have a bare 8 here. I'd probably shove because that's what I do.

And if he shoves puke and fold? Because if you don't fold, you should shove because he's calling off all his money with any 8 here.

bet the flop mang

as played, make a small raise and fold to a shove, somewhat bigger than a minraise, but not much

Sorry didn't look at stack sizes properly, just assumed 100BBs. Fist pump shove

[pureklas]

Sorry to be nitty but bet the flop. He started with a stack of 60bbs, which makes this an easy river shove. 100bbs you can value raise the river and still fold to a shove.

[Sean Fraley]

Normally I bet $1.50-$2 on the flop, but I was distracted at the time and just checked by mistake.

porn+poker isnt profitable. bet flop imo and shove.
