Too big a raise

Why are your raising the flop? If it's expecting vilain to ship, then it worked pretty well.

 

You semi-bluff counting on fold equity. I'd raise 120-150 there and maybe fold to a shove.

we are also getting 3-1 on a call IP.i dont mind seeing a cheap turn and seeing what happens.

the only worse hand that leads this flop is 56. everything else is ahead.

I think the jam is best here,

I think the jam is best here, super hard to call with most of his flatting range Kx, Qx, Jx and only calling with hands that have a 7 or an 8 which are in his flatting range.

but of course, I have only watched insane steves videos and nodeg's shorts so far.
