Critique this hand for me?

[MNMP2]

Here is a hand that knocked me out of $3 MTT tonight.

I didnt feel bad about this at all, because the guy WAS chasing, and I figured I was ahead in this hand with an opportunity to more than double up. Any pointers on this?

I called here because I knew I would get a bunch of limpers from this table.

Fold. You went in with 8-6 suited? You went in hoping to catch a monster post flop... which would of been a straight or a flush (or a straight flush).. instead you catch TPWK with two hearts... and your TPWK is easily destroyed by any pocket pair. Not worth trying to get the pot with only a pair of 8's... even if someone is chasing

the 86s calling a raise is weird, but if thats your style i won't fault you. you put your money allin on the turn when you had the best of it, and got unlucky. thats poker.

[journey075]

just want to point out that you were actually behind on the flop. 2 overs w/ a flush draw is a favorite.

Well, I guess this is what confuses me sometimes because I have been reading and re-reading the strategy articles by Rada and Rippy, and I know in Rippy's post under Step Outside The Box, it specifically says to "call affordable bets with suited rags". So I thought I was OK in doing that, and figured that I misplayed it later in the hand.

[bikocruz]

there's a big difference between calling a raise out of position with suited rags and calling or raising with low suited connectors when you're in position and have control of the table.

[MNMP2]

That makes sense.

I'm looking at this hand a lot differently now.

I agree. When you play these types of speculative hands, you are lucking to hit a big, sneaky hand. However, you have to make sure you do not become attached to it if you hit only a pair.
