76$ in the pot. Whats he doing this with that you have beat?

yea yea i know

i just hate laying down graet hands

why raise river?

Even I know better. :wink:

you have to raise this river. A rivered straight or trip 8s is a lot more likely then a boat.

I wouldn't have raised so much on the river, hard to see your opponent calling that raise with anything you beat and would definitely re-raise if they've got you beat. Hand probably plays out differently too if you didn't make such a big raise.

Seems like a pretty easy fold.

Tough but easy fold. Does that even make sense?

Yes. I'd hate laying it down, but it's not a laydown that requires a lot of thought.

why did you bet this flop?

and no, i'm usually not raising this river. i much prefer going for the overcall.

lol yea sorry i was a bit tipsy last night few too many "h"'s

Ugh. I'm not sure I like betting this flop. You've just got an overcard and backdoor draws. I know you're just trying to pick up the pot, but...eh.

betting $6 into a $14 pot with 7 opponents isn't going to pick up the pot. I have no idea why you lead on the flop.

I fold that river.
