GO BROKE OBV
If he did this thread would have started and concluded in the op..Just confirming... do you have 40 years of experience?
I decide to go ahead and check here in 1st position... knowing a bet would take place and then check-raising !!!
So I check.
Next to act (Luckbox) as I knew would happen, bets out $15 into the $15 pot.
The other 3 Villains behind him all fold.
Action back to me...
...And I know I am check-raising at this point, what would be your standard raise in this situation?
^^^This^^^Therein lies the rub of under-repping your hand. In the immortal words of Sam Kinison (RIP), if you don't trust the [p-word], why are you [effing] the [p-word]?
You got what you wanted. Action. Now follow through with the plan. I know it doesn't work out well, but that's not relevant to this discussion. This is what you wanted, what you asked for.
Raise, be ready to shove that stack in, puke on the table, and re-buy
...and then he'll misread his hand while tabling.I'm excited for his mid pair to turn into a boat....
He will be like. "Oh drats, I thought my eights we're good!... " As he flips over 8/3 off......and then he'll misread his hand while tabling.
Fold/raise IMO. In his 40+ years of grinding he'll have never seen it coming, and won't believe his bad luck to run in to it now. But, since you are playing at the Bellodgeio he calls anyway and wins. Cuz he always wins at the Bellodgeio.So is this a raise/fold or a raise/shove?
The Clown God does love a good schemengie. This would qualify, especially if someone then said, "I folded a 3."He will be like. "Oh drats, I thought my eights we're good!... " As he flips over 8/3 off...
As he ignores runner runner 3s for a boat...
4 outs with 2 cards coming, let's see, 4/2 = 2, he's a 2:1 fave.
I would at least expect a nit like this to have sooted KJ for runner runner flush options. like @Kain8 said, you did it right. I would love to be in that spot. Hands like this is why we play NL.After I call his shove, I immediately flip over my cards to show the flopped straight.
He hesitates like he doesn't want to flip his cards over.
But when he does, the table audibly gasped... almost everyone couldn't believe that he had made the play he did.
He flips over:
!!!
Two overs... with a double gut-shot.
What were the effective stacks? never got that. Even up against your flopped straight he’s only a 71:28 dog or about 2.5:1. If he thinks he’s got some fold equity it’s not the worst play in the world...So...
After checking on the flop. Villain has bet out $15... folded back around to me and I decide to raise.
I raise slightly more than I would have normally as I didn't want this guy calling me and pairing up to make a boat, or trying to catch a card.
So, I make it $55 to go.
He tanks for a minute or two and keeps looking back and forth between the board and me... me and the board.
He finally says out loud that if I hit it, I must be good, and shoves all in.
His image at the table from what I have seen so far tells me that I am ahead here and I snap call his shove all in.
Had no reason to believe that he was playing J-8 to have me beat here.
I figured he must have had a huge over pair or flopped a set... any of them.
He does have me covered by about $100, so I am effectively all-in!
Board so far is:

It’s never in good if you lose. Those are the hands you need to have the discipline to lay down if you want to make the big-time.You got it in good, nothing more you can do.
