Default 25/50NL Three Handed Hand on UB

I have 5k in front of me. I have pocket aces in the small blind, the button, is a tricky, tough player, and has me covered. He raises to 175. I re-raise the pot (to 525 or so). He calls. The flop comes

7-9-T rainbow

I lead out for a bit less than the pot. He calls. The next card off is a 3. I move in (about 3K more). He calls ... with J8.

Question is: is there any way not to go broke on this hand?

ALLIN PREFLOP would do it, as to this hand, nothing you can do really...you should be happy villain puts in 10% of stack with J8 though I'm pretty sure

Yup. He crushed me. I actually lost 10K to him with AA. Once he had Q8 and once had had J8!

Mr. Diablo,

Seems to me you play on the 25/50NL game, do we know your screen name?

PFM,

Just looked up the J8 hand. FYI, the flop action went check / Strassa 650 / you checkraise to 1300 / strassa calls.

"Seems to me you play on the 25/50NL game, do we know your screen name?"

Uh, I am not a mindreader. I have no idea whether or not you know my screenname.

Did you really think I meant "Diablo, do you know whether or not I know your screen name?" Nah. I was asking "Who are you?"
