5/10 big pot vs. TheGiftOfGab

[The Gift Of Gab]

i suck. that is all.

by the way, the posted hand where you apparently had 99 got you paid off here.

[DOTTT]

Gift, can I ask why you didn't raise the turn here? If AJ comes over the top I think you can lay down AA here and save some of your stack.

[The Gift Of Gab]

even though it looks like the second 8 is a bad card for me, I would have been more likely to fold if a total blank had hit.

as it was I took almost the full time before throwing my money away.

what street should you have folded on? I don't think I could lay it down on the flop or turn.

I don't understand this...

Why would someone move in on the river if a total blank fell? Nothing came up to scare your opponent into folding, so the all-in raiser is more likely to have a made hand. The board pairing is an obvious scare card that the all-in raiser might be trying to get you to fold the best hand with.

takes away 2pair hands that beat your 1pair hand - plus makes him less likely to actually have an 8. Counterfit reasons...

[The Gift Of Gab]

without going into too much detail, i'm almost sure he doesn't have an 8. his earlier play was consistent with either a set or something like 99/TT. from earlier hands i knew he was very aggressive and likely to try a big move to run a thinking player off a slightly better hand. if the 8 doesn't pair it's pretty obvious he has a big hand and wants to bust me since i have to call with my overpair, right?
