ev of pockets eights flopping full houses

[davet]

I don't know if the poker gods are toying with me, or is there something to all of this....

Anyway, over the past two days, I have had my pocket eights busted by a better full house four times.

Here is the lowdown

Me: Pocket Eights is LP

VS:

K8K- 9- 10

Winning hand KTo

T8T- x- T

Winning hand KK (how I wish they were suited)

98Q (all clubs, I bet and reraise against a bluffer) - Q- K

Winning hand KQ spade (this one hurt the most: 20 bb)

T8T- 2- x

Oh you guessed it, the pot was split between T2o and T2s, how can I ever win against Brunson and his protege.

Of coarse, I play these things pretty darn aggressively, I mean, a full house, but the river is killing me

So anyway, when I look down and see two eights, (in the tradition of finding patterns were none exist, they all have been the same color) I start feeling a bit clammy inside, because these things have been the fall of me. I probably give off plenty of tells of a bluff when I hold these things.

But anyway, what is the EV of pocket 8s, and what should I expect from all of the above, or myriad of other situations. I swear that I am going to start mucking these things.

This is an awesome thread and clearly should be stickied, but I've decided I'm going to lock it instead.
