That changes the dynamic as however the hand plays out, he now has position, and could quite conceivably be floating with the intention of setting up a bluff.
I really hate making up in the SB in an unopened pot as you just set yourself up to play a hand out of position against random cards. At least by raising here, you can give yourself some semblance of a chance of defining his range if he calls.
@Marty - yes quite possibly looking at a chop at best I guess, and on that premise, you"re probably right that the fold is the better option. I suspect that having hit what feels like the nuts on the end, some (including me) would find it tough to fold.

A hand from the Main Event at DTD. Cant exactly remember but I am 99% certain the blinds were 200-400. I have accumulated a nice few chips in the early levels and I have 46k. It is folded round to me on the big blind correction small blind, I have 8s ts and flat call hoping to see a flop. The big blind who has recently joined the table and about whom I have no knowledge, checks. He has roughly 20k
The flop comes 4d 4s tc giving me 2 pair I bet 1000 it is called, the river is 6h I bet 3000 which is called, I am now thinking he either has hit his set or I am behind to an over pair, but as there was no pre raise flop I am also thinking he may have a low pair maybe 3s or deuces and just wanted to see a flop before committing any chips.
The river is 4h giving me the boat, I now know that I am only losing to one card unless he does have an over pair which as I said earlier I have ruled out. I check and he pushes and I make an uneasy call. He shows qd 4c for quads. Now I look back on it this was my chance to save 15/16k when he pushes. I am still thinking that if I put him on hitting his set earlier then he has made quads on the river so why am I calling. But I was torn between him having the four or a small pair and I made the call. Is it possible to get off this hand ?

Yes!
Don, I tend to agree with the guys that you missed a bet with your 10-8 pre flop and after that I"m not playing my hand..... I"m pondering his.
Nice to have met you and will post later when I"ve had sopme kip :)

if you want proper analysis don"t post the result - think your betsizing throughout the hand is pretty bad in my opinion though, can"t see someone floating a > potsized bet on two streets.

Ok sorry about posting the result I have not used this thread before but what your saying makes sense. What would you have bet ? I might as well learn something that"s the point I guess. I think I have found out what I was pretty sure I knew already i.e. I played the hand badly.
Thanks for your thoughts.

I think any option is ok pre here, but raising is best.
bet less on the flop (say 500 - 600). 2/3 to 3/4 pot will give you the same result as overbetting the pot.
you bet 1K on flop and 3K on the turn and are now playing a huge pot, putting yourself in a horrible spot on the river. When oppo shoves, its a chop at best so I"d fold there.
If I had got to the river cheaper, oppo may not have shoved and I would call a reasonable river bet (coz I is a station)
