I can't tell if I'm happy about this outcome. Ok well I'm happy that my PF raise didn't get re-raised, I'm happy that I connected with the flop and I'm happy to win a nice little pot with 8 high but I kind of hoped that my opponent had something and we would see all 5 cards.

Should I have raised to chase him out or just called to see another card?

Well I think either way your good here. Betting that much you commit you and him to the pot to the end which you are almost definately a favourite in.

If he folds you take a nice pot 100% of the time.

Good situation either way.

Probably best to end it there the way youve been running

I play it the same. Get the money in while you know you are almost always a favourite (if he had JQs that would be siiiiiick ).

If you call, he can price you out on a blank turn.
