Oh dear!
the original point of the post was not, as I like to joke at my own expense, that I might nearly pass
it was this..if I raise here, what hand I am beating calls me?
several people make the point that raising here I get called by bare 8's, allowing for a mega-LAG in the hand and a nut peddler too.
Thank you, thats what I was after. In addition I hoped (after my OP) for people to suggest different ways of playing the turn.
At the time, after the river and it came back to me, I thought I was only getting called by KQ if I raised. Therefore I called. The majority opinion is that this is sub-optimal
which is kind of the point of asking for opinions, to try to improve
If that's the case then you shouldn't raise with KQ either as its just a split pot, in fact raising with Q8 makes more sense as you get another Q8 to fold..........
