t8s vs raise

Hi GingerKid

Aren't you potentially losing value by just calling the turn? Unless you see him bluffing a ton and following up a ton on blank rivers I'd just raise small on that card (it's such a blank card and our hand hidden that I can't see villain folding much).

And if you raise like 41 BB you even allow room for a 3-bet from him.

In that case min raise on turn would be pure exploitative play since I can never bluff this way, right? He still gets so good odds with his draws if I just raise to 41bb, so he can hardly shove there with a draw but can +ev call.

I guess I missed one small detail on the flop: that he raised us...

For some reason I thought we got donked into there but that's clearly not the case...

And given the board we really don't have floats that have nothing on the turn (so pure bluffs or low equity semibluffs) since even BFD got there to pick a draw.

So really when you raise small you make it easy for him and thus we are only left with shoving (which could be good with so many draws) or calling.
