Did Ernie mess this up?

Ernie and I have been up all night, among other things, playing online poker. The game has been loose and somewhat aggressive. We argued a lot about this one.

Bert, you should have mentioned that the CO has been playing really aggressively.

I'm really interested to figure out who is behind this coalition of Sesame Street posters. I'd not be surprised at all of it were some bunch of experienced posters starting a whole slew of gimmick accounts, or alternately if it was all one person with some serious psychological issues to work out.

Getting 7.5-2 with 4 clean outs and 3 very, very tenuous ones, I can't think calling the flop is ever correct here. In fact I think it really, really sucks.

i think the call on the flop is terrible and the call on the turn is bad. ernie is clearly beaten and has maybe 5 outs and no odds to call (on both streets).

You need to fold the flop facing to bets and holding nothing but a gutshot. You can't even be sure your ace is good if it does hit. You simply do not have the odds to stay in the hand.

Same goes for the turn.

If you believe the ace is going to win the hand for you on the river, and that the CO is really aggressive, why not check raise instead of donk betting?

I have nothing to do with these people! I chose my name because my GF always calls me Oscar when I play poker, on account of my sunny disposition.
