I don't have any solid reads as I had just joined the table about 25 hands ago. I didn't rule out the flush possibility, but was this a value bet?

I like your flop raise, nice aggression there.

I think you have to bet the river, because you've show aggression the whole way. I know I said check in another thread, but that was with a read on the opponent. With no read, I think you have to take a stab with the straight.

I'm no limit expert, but it seems like you played this okay.

well played.

Do you have enough equity for the flop raise?.....yeah, you do. Just barely, though.(Thinking out loud. )

Nice hand.

yeah it was a close call, I was really glad that last caller called

that flop raise confuses me.

Someone explain..? lol

You have an equity edge.

Equity Edge:

If your win % is higher than the % of money you are putting in you have an equity edge and have value in raising.

Say you have 8 7

Flop is A T 4

One guy bets and 2 people call, the action is on you.

You are putting in 25% of the money (Do you see that?) and you will hit your flush about 35% of the time. 35-25, you have a 10% equity edge and should raise as long as you think all the people that already put money in will call.
