One-card straight versus smart LAG
Please comment on my play in this hand.
I'm dealt 8 8 under the gun, so I call.
The action is folded around to the smart LAG who is in the cutoff. He raises to 5 x BB.
My stack is 100 x BB and his is about 500 x BB, so I call for the implied odds on making a set.
The pot is about 10 x BB.
The flop comes 7 9 10 rainbow.
I think I probably have the best hand now, so I lead out with a bet of 3/4 of the pot (8 x BB). He calls.
The turn brings a J, no flush draw.
I now have the 3rd nuts: KQ and Q8 are the only hands I don't beat. KQ is unlikely because he would have been drawing to an inside straight. Q8 is unlikely because I have 2 of the 4 possible 8s.
I again bet 3/4 of the pot (20 x BB), hoping he has caught 2 pair or a set or that he wants to represent my hand and will raise me.
He min-raises me. The pot is now 86 x BB.
I figure I still have the best hand and reraise all-in for 67 x BB.
Results to follow.
