Re: Did I play this too fast?
Hey niediam,
You make very good points, and I think I'd share your view say if hero had flopped an ace, rather than an 8 as top pair. Since the original poster didn't include any reads (maybe I missed them) I'm going to assume the preflop raiser is typical party $.5/1 - Which means he plays 40-50% hands and only raises when he's got the goods (usually).
I think hero is behind AA-JJ here most of the time here (of course we could also see AK or AQ) and is going to need that draw to win, so I'm taking the angle that I'm going to try to make money off the draw.
That's just my gut instinct, and if it's flat out wrong, then I've got a thing or two to learn.
