Here's how I see it....


#1....Well you are obviously ahead PF......and with his call of 8xBB, unless he is an extremely loose....has some kind of starting hand. After that flop he maybe sitting on TT, or a lower PP, maybe AQ, AK. It looks to me like he had the latter.

But I would bet that flop pretty hard.....I'd rather take the pot down there then get sucked out on......then if the hand continues, reevaluate the situation.

#2.....looks like Murdock likes to call big PF bets with nothing special.....I dont know about the flop play...someone un-newbish can take that one. But I dont think I would push.....
