It costs me $200 more, and there's already $600 in the pot, and I have two loose-aggressive players in the pot with Q-8 of diamonds, which is the kind of hand that if you hit it, you hit it big or you can get away from it.

Most of the chips went in when I had the best hand.

I decided he didn't have a set because he's playing stronger than a set. He's not trying to keep me in. So I decide my top two is the best hand.

I check and he bets $3,000, which is a normal-size bet, about the size of the pot. He's telling me, 'I have a hand; get out.' If the 8 hadn't hit, I'd have just folded. But I have top two pair and I'm thinking I have the best hand.

I don't like the card because I kind of put him on aces or kings.
