Your 3 Ace outs are likely to be dominated, someone might already have AK, given the action preflop - so I would fold.

By the way, I think it was really poor that you saw the flop with A8s for 4 bets. Cold calling an UTG raise with A8s can never be right IMO.

This is a fold preflop and I get the feeling you are posting this hand only because you would have won it? The flop here is an easy fold and you are likely to be drawing dead a ton of times. This time, you would get lucky with the cards.

Folding preflop would have been better.

Fold preflop. Twice.

Fold the flop.

Don't be results oriented.

Next time use the hand converter.

Re: huge odds, but no outs, no hand.. or so i thought
 

Even I can find a preflop fold here.

[/ QUOTE ]Thats about as good as it can be said. I'll restress that cold calling an UTG raise with A8s can NEVER be correct. A8 is not a good hand.

I would guess that 9 times out of 10 in a pot like this, you aren't even good on the turn. Meaning that you'd have to call a bet on the flop with the intention of getting 2 running cards to sometimes win, and sometimes split.
