To answer the "pre-flop raise" scenario::
Fold wasnt much of a situation in my opinion as I was getting 13:1 on a complete, and I didnt raise as the game was so loose a raise to £1 wouldn't have thinned the field at all.
I was obviously over the moon with the flop but with the action in this particular hand I thought BTN could have any set or J9. My instinct told me to fold, but I was blinded by the mountain of chips in my middle, so my stack followed into the pot after much deliberation. I knew it was a mistake as soon as I called. UTG folded.
The turn came a 9 and river came a second 8m making the board 78T98............at this point I obv knew I was dead, lol.
MP showed T7 for 2 pair
BTN showed J9 for a straight
I showed 69 for the lower straight
and UTG had folded 78 which would have been the eventual winner.
Quite a sick hand imo.
I guess I should learn to follow my instincts, I just couldnt pass up to chance to have sooooo many chips,

BTN in the hand was Sneds btw, and he proceeded to mock me, and taunt me talking about how "well the chips stacked" etc. the "b*****d.
Luckily he "donked" away his £60 stack before the end of the night
