well, in the spirit of my bad run heres a hand, i know what your saying all in on a flush bluff is a bad idea. I put him on ace 10, maybe ace 9, no pre flop raise, i was trying to implore marm's strategy here. The big bet post flop is to get the flush chasers out, prob shoudl of made it 400 or 450.

I was asked " why raise so much with 8's" well 8's late at the table was a good hand for me. I was going against 3 ppl 2 of which were the blinds and 1 was a callin station, i prob should of made my preflop bet a little more but who calls 200 more chips to play with what he has?
