    Default missed value?

    villain is a TOTAL call station...seeing 90% hands and NEVER raising. WtSD% of 55%, as well. i love to play against these guys and bet into them with decent hands, but...

    did i miss a good bit of value here? i did see him call down with flopped trips earlier. should i keep pushing? i am confident he wouldn't want to play for stacks, unless he had the 8. but, i wonder if i shouldn't have been value-betting to get more in and possibly commit him?

    SB ($5.90)

    Hero ($9.30)

    Hero raises to $0.4, 1 fold, Button calls $0.40, SB calls $0.35, BB calls $0.30.

    Flop: ($1.60) 8, A, 8 (4 players)

    Turn: ($5.60) 7 (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button checks.

    Hero checks, Button checks.

    Final Pot: $5.60



    first 2 villains here are both loose and aggressive, the 3rd i have no read on. i figured someone would call a push, if not more. are you happy to win without flop here? was this a dangerous/overlyaggro/nitty push? are queens in your normal range to push pf, if given a large raise and multiple players? would you make this move, and put multiple villains to the test pf, with other pp's like 99? how far down the list do you go?

    nevertheless, i felt i was only behind to KK/AA and might get calls from a lot of other pp's and AX's (hands i am ahead of) given the pf raise and cold-calls. this is a board (given pf betting) that i cannot play too aggro post-flop with a K or A on the flop...right?

    thank you for your comments.
    LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

    Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!
