His turn reraise looks like he MIGHT have caught an 8 (ace-eight maybe? possibly a loose player playing 78 for the raise?). However I think the more likely scenario is a set. He calls a 5BB preflop riase, merely calls *sigh* on the flop, and MIN raises the turn (even tho this raise essentially puts him allin, he's pot-committed; he's got $9 behind with a $30, he's not laying it down). So I'd think set. If you got lucky maybe he'd have Kings (and was foolishly "slowplaying" those). Doubt it tho.

As played, I like preflop, flop, and $5 turn bet. However after the turn raise- I either fold or push allin; and more likely than not the first choice (fold).
Bigslikk,

Thanks for the comments.

I agree totally with what you have said and I still don't know why I called the turn bet. I think it was because I had played about 500 hands and most people at these tables were playing utter crap and being super aggro with TPNK. However I thought long and hard about the set on the turn and think laying the rockts down at this point is +EV in the long run.

Thanks again.
