I really wanted to check-raise this flop. And I was fearing the monsters under the bed for the remainder of the hand:

PokerStars Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (10 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8, 8
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, 1 fold, MP1 raises, 2 folds, CO calls, 2 folds, Hero calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls

Flop: (10.4 SB) 4, 5, 6 (5 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, MP1 checks, CO checks

Turn: (5.2 BB) 3 (5 players)
Hero bets, 1 fold, UTG+1 calls, 2 folds

River: (7.2 BB) 7 (2 players)
Hero bets, UTG+1 calls

Total pot: $4.60 (9.2 BB) | Rake: $0.20

Results below:
Hero had 8, 8 (straight, eight high).
UTG+1 mucked A, 6 (straight, seven high).
Outcome: Hero won $4.40

i dont c/r this flop. cold callers may have 99-JJ/44-66 here, and spade draws, and some may carry goofy straight draws.....the possibility exists, however rare, that someone flopped it and is slowplaying it, too.

i dont like the turn lead much being so far oop. you are only folding worse, but encouraging a raise from flushes now, straights, sets, and bluffs that you can't possibly recognize. and, MP could be carrying QQ-AA, too, which he isn't likely folding. i think you turned your hand into a bluff here, and against 5 players, it isn't going to work.

on the river, lucky you....lol.

now, if you had a 678 flop, i c/r here all day, and cap. and, likely b/c the turn when the 3rd spade drops, too. much stronger situation.
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!
