2) How does an A on the board make it more favorable to call?

Implied odds are increased due to preflop action indicating more people have hit that Ace (at least two) decent kicker and will be pumping the pot.

Would you rather hold 88 on a flop of A83 or T84? Same thing


I should point out as well that this is possibly the first time since my real fish days that i have ever played a pp like this, and yeah i know i got lucky.
