J8o

[ErrantNight]

So I followed a maniac to a table and he left, and it's me, 3 tags, a true donkey, and a weak player. The donkey is to my right (~54/3/.50), then the toughest of the tags, then the weak guy. To my left is a TAG that tries to get tricky but hasn't quite figured it all out yet. The last guy is a solid, but predictable, TAG.

Lately the donkey has been getting cold-carded and there's been a LOT of folding around and/or folding the flop for one bet.

I'm waiting to jump tables to follow the maniac but sticking it out thanks to my position on donkey boy, hoping he starts playing cards again.

I have also not been playing anything in maybe 30, 40 hands, and I get the impression that the TAGs have begun to start trying to run me over. Either that or they keep getting cards and I don't. But whatever.

I get J8o in the bb.

Tricky tag folds. Predictable tag raises. Folded to donkey who cold calls. I call. (Horrendous? Terrible? My thinking was... I can read the action and get the tag to fold a bunch here, and I have position on the donk. I can win this hand UI some reasonable percentage)

Of course, the flop comes rainbow AKT.

Check, check, bet, call, I...
