4 spades after the river and a bet and a raise in front of you? Easy fold.You played fine on the other streets.

There's only three spades :)I think calling this is okay

I feel like MP1 is a tad bid early to be isolating.Im not to sure but it looks like you came in 3rd. Flush, straight, set.Not sure if you can fold this river or not.

naw. For openraising 88 works at MP1. its better than opendonking, IMO

I think I would have called with 8 8 in that position... call me crazy but I'd be curious to know what's more profitable long-term.

MP1 is my threshold for opnraising with 88. Its also the threshold where open limping becomes counterporductive, IMO, or opendonking as us trouts call it :-) . I say try a session or two of diong this in MP1 or MP2. To me it makes tha hand eaiser to play. I noticed things getting eaiser to play postflop wieh I would raise more to open. Start raising 99 utg. Its a good excercise on post flop skills

many months ago i went to chris ferguson's site, and he said the following:"One of the most important rules of Hold'Em -- Limit or No Limit -- is to never, ever call as the first player to enter a pot before the flop. Either pump up the pot with a raise, or dump your cards in the muck. If your hand isn't strong enough for a raise, it's too weak for a call. This tactic makes it more difficult for your opponents to read your hand, and it makes it impossible for the big blind to ever see a flop for free when you're in the hand."i don't always do this, but i have to agree with kdawg on this one...when you DO do it, it makes a big difference. (plus it gets that aggression factor up in pokertracker hehe) :wink: dave.
