I also like 3 betting to 35 mush more, a worse hand will call you very rarely here.

I like the push. His raise on the turn shows a lot of strength so he obviously likes his hand, the river card however could kill your hand OR your action, so I don't mind trying to get it in now. A $35 raise pretty much telegraphs your hand and makes it easy for him to play perfect/and or get away.

Say he has KJ or KQ here, you re-raise and he calls.

River is an Ace, Ten or spade, he can get away. River pairs the board (or brings a spade), can you get away with almost half your stack in the pot already?

If River is the , are you pushing (only getting called when beaten) or check/folding (risking getting bluffed out) or check/calling (making it correct for him to draw on the turn and making your whole hand -EV as well as losing value when ahead).

Villian had pocket 8's and called. My hand held.

The bad play at the table as well as me being brand new to FTP (so no one has stats on me with their hudbot tools if they have that at FTP?) are what tipped my decision in favor of a massive overbet push.

So it worked out for me this hand but I was going back and forth in my mind after the hand trying to decide if it was the best play given the circumstances.

Make your raise to 35...people at this level won't read you for a pure draw and would need at least 2pr+ to call.
