8888 did I play it right ??? (1 Viewer)

[NorCalChip]

On the button with 8d8h. Two limps in front I raise 3x and both call.

Flop is 8s8cQs. First to act goes all in. Second goes all in. I push my chips to the center while they both try to draw dead.

Did this need a thread ? Nope. But damn it feels sooooo damn good when about once a year you flop the absolute nutter butters and don't have to do a single thing to get maximum value.

Fold pre

Did you say you have two pair, eights and eights? If not you played it wrong.

Correct. Two pairs of 8s with a back door flush draw

I think your raise was good but I do not know how the table plays. Too much of a raise would push 'em out. After the flop it was just too easy!!!!!

You didn't have the backdoor flushdraw, so I'm not sure you played it correctly. Without a backup plan I'd be weary of that flop. It might be a trap.

I've had three hands like this in 2015. 7777, 8888, QQQQ. Flopped two of them and got the Q on the turn once. I was lucky everytime as another player had a boat and could not get away. Nothing sucks more than flopping quads and everyone else has junk.

Beware of the QQ hand that hit's the Q on the turn. 8888 = loser. Prolly good for the BBJ though.

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

Having the boat against quads sucks more. As does having your house hit by a tornado, I presume. Those are just a couple off the top of my head.

at first I thought it was a 8888 Omaha starting hand thread. :

If it was Omaha I'd go all-in preflop.

Not true. http://www.delawarepark.com/igaming/ Just have to be in the state to play. You don't have to be a resident. New Jersey also has legal online gaming too.

I haven't play in over a year though.
