    don't you only have like 6k left? I don't understand.

    The problem is I only beat one hand(88) and I think all 3 options are debatable but I'm sure people will say "at least don't fold" but I think it's a viable option given how this hand went down.

    you also beat straights. I just pay off quads/tens full here.

    I still don't understand. I had a long post, but I'll stop with that, because I don't know what to make of this

    look at the action. I think the action is close for a push/call not a fold just saying that folding isn't absurd.

    you aren't worried the caller has you beat, he's not cold calling with tens full. Why do you think this guy only leads 88+ and not 77? He may not be nearly as smart as you think he is. My wife is up prbably 3k in her poker career and she still forgets about full houses sometimes.

    A lot of guys are leading QJ here. These are unknowns. You cannot fold this hand. With no read, not raising also seems bad but I can at least see an argument.

    If anyone is beating you I think they horribley miss-played their hands.

    that is a great point, SB check called (two bets!) the flop, for him to have the boat he had to do that with two pair or a set which is so iffy given board.

    I strongly disgaree and think folding is absurd, with calling almost being as bad as folding.

    Well I called and he had T9. I agree that he misplayed his hand but he clearly doesn't have a straight so that means he has a boat. I see now that 77 is at least as likely and more likely than 88. I dunno what's better raise or call, despite results.

    Why can't he have a straight? Why can't he also have a T? (Less likely, but you can't just put him on a boat.)
