Default Playing the 2nd best hand

Let's say you have split kings and raise, a very loose player with an 8 showing calls, and a good player with an ace re-raises. Does it now become correct to call this raise? If the weak player wasn't in there, it would definitely be incorrect, but its a close call with him in there.. Any suggestions?

Default Re: Playing the 2nd best hand

If the 8 hand is a rainbow with no higher cards, your equity is about the same with him in or out (about 30%). Better to have him in and contributing.

If you give him credit for something, your equity drops to about 25%, which is worse than going heads-up against the Aces. If you wouldn't go heads up vs AA then you shouldn't here either.
