AA, voluntary multiway pot.

Deep villain is semi loose and passive preflop, but kinda aggressive after the flop. He's raised me on the flop a couple of times in the small number of hands we've played together, but we never did show down.

Yeah, I'd gamble here too.

whats the question?

fnord, any opinion on the preflop call?

lukie's opinion is that 4-betting is significantly better but that once the flop comes down, you need to get it all-in without question.

What do you think of BoBo729?

You pretty much own the short-buy here. The question is what kinds of hands is the 3rd guy playing. If he's just playing set, we'd like to price him out of the pot. If he's going to donk it off post-flop we want to hand him a rope.

his range is probably suited connectors pairs and broadways, pretty much anything he'd have called the original raise with

the reason i didn't fourbet is because i pretty much wanted to play the pot as if bobo had called and the blinds folded. Bobo is a bad player, and I wanted to extract, and i figured that he's calling the 8 with a fairly wide range, and not just fit/fold hands.

Yeah, I'd show him a flop then. Particularly if he's loose post-flop. Less inclined if he's tight post-flop.
