Re: Ace with good (not great) kicker
Agree with all of the above. Your raise to $3 boots out his small-mid pairs as he doesn't have a large enough stack to go for the set. So 88 and 22 are gone.
The problem with your $3 raise from EP is it folds every ace that you dominate. An AK $3 raise would be fine because at least AQ and AJ *might* come along for the ride (then you're on the good side of this hand)
As it is you've folded probably every hand except those that beat you preflop. Not a good place to be in...
