bennyjams ???

Main question I have for you benny the cunt is, given your statement about villain, why raise that flop? (Not a pick, just curious)
It seems he is not likely to fold to a raise (based only on what you said of him), which I would think is the usual reason for raising here?
Wouldnt it be better to flat and see a cheap turn, then re-evaluate?

That said, to me, his min bets on the flop and turn tell me he is also on the flush draw, and trying to build the pot incase he hits. Well thats the most common reason I have seen this line taken on 888PL anyway. That or a monster, but that not seem likely here...
But whatever he really has, I would flat that turn, he obviously isnt going to fold to a second barrel raise from you (well, it doesnt seem likely), and hope that 888 comes through and gives you a lovely heart on the river:
i) If it doesnt you have lost as little as possible.
ii) if it does, you will more than likely stack HIM???

Or a 5... in which case you still might get some value from him if he actually did catch a piece of the board.

+1

What AJG said. He has an 8 here, I think.

Btw, when I opened up this topic benny the cunt I thought you were posting your Q8o hand we had on Stars

to be honest, i was raising the flop for value. i too put him on a flush draw or an 8, and i knew he wouldn't fold without at least seeing the turn. i wanted to be able to stack him if i hit the flush or straight.

what do you think about this range?

Not realistic on that flop

true, poker stove doesn't count them though if they aren't realistic. i just put any 2 hearts cards. if i remove them it doesn't change the percentages, so pokerstove does the right thing with them
