![]() I dont know about that... sometimes people just come in $8, then another $8, then another $8... the raises were far apart. Also, there was an Ace and no face cards on the flop so alot of the the KQ type hands had to fold right away. There were 2 really bad players at the table and everyone else was fairly decent. I do win in the long run.. but I might not see another pot that big for months so it's depressing :P |

That one hell of a hyper aggressive table. Certainly the bad beat sucks. But I'm curious about what people think of the re-raise before flop with pocket 8s. That strikes me as too aggressive with that many callers -- if an overcard comes, somebody is going to have it. Can't believe no one folded - nine players sticking with a three-bet for those stakes! Where is this place?

haha, I'm glad you said that because I was thinking exactly the same thing. After I read it, I thought i must have read somehting wrong and re read it a couple times. Then when i started reading all the responses I couldnt believe that no one had made a comment on it yet!
Did you think you were fossilman? |

![]() It is aggressive...but put it this way.. you're going to call the 16 on the big blind right? With that many people already in, might as well raise it to $24 or fold, get another $40-50 into the pot and people have to keep an eye on you, if it hits, you're gold, if it doesnt, you've only lost $8 more |

I don't know If I agree. I mean if it hits, your "gold", but people are already afraid of you because of your preflop reraise. So If no one else hits, you may be the one running the table, and others may fold. However if you don't hit, then you're probably not going to try to run the table, but with only two outs to improve your hand, the drawing odds aren't to good here.
On the other hand, if you call and then you don't hit, you lose 8 less chips. And if you call and you hit, the other raisers will probably be trying to play the table, and you can smooth call and extract more chips. In this position I would probably just call the raise to see the flop. |

![]() I would only raise because i'm getting another 6-10 bets into the pot. With 16 or 24 X 9 before the flop, I dont mind running the table and everyone folding (but on this table, nobody was folding). If I dont hit the 8 on the flop, I dont bet. Anyways, I think both our ways are correct, doesnt change the result ![]() |

Yuck, that is very very nasty.
Personally the runner runner I hate losing to the most is when I flop nut straight and someone has an over pair. Runner runner boats make me sick ![]() Cheers, Gutzz |

That's just plain bad luck but at least he has an over pair, he doesnt know you have a straight (in most cases he has the best hand). In this hand.. the guy called 6 bets (in a kill pot) with no pair, no overcards, and 3 spades.
