Just the way i wrote this one up!!! 1st i get one caller in front of me so im ok with that.So i make it 150 to or 3x the BB,i am trying to keep the pot as small as possible preflop.At the same time i am attempting and hoping to buy the button.In this case that is exactly what happends.
I now have position after the flop to further more control the pot.With 7H 8H i am hoping 1st of all the hit the flop one of three ways. 1st i am hoping to hit the flop and also be drawing to a striaght or a flush at the same time.And lastly hitting 3 of a king and draw to a FULL HOUSE AS I DID IN THIS HAND.

ALL GREEN ZONE PLAY!!!! CURRENTLY 89 PLAYER REMAIN OUT OF 180!

CURRENTLY ON BREAK(72 PLAYER 8TABLES)I AM 49TH JUST BELOW AVG STACK!
