Total donkey question(25PL)

[DeadMoneyOC]

Im a good limit O8 player but this was maybe my 4th time playing PL. This is an easy fold on the flop right? My pre-flop call was also good right, I wasnt sure if I should have re-potted it. I didnt see any reason to re-pot it preflop at least.

I wouldn't reraise preflop as a rule here, but I might from time to time just so I don't always have AAxx with at least one wheel side card when I reraise. I think you definitely want to fold the flop. You would be drawing for half the pot and could possibly get quartered when you hit.

Yes, you're right. It's practically a no-brainer in Pot Limit. As someone might say "it's trivial". Still, though, I remember limit 08 and you play your nut lows with nothing else and hope everyone comes along.

When I reply to 08 posts, I often say "Play to Scoop" and "Don't draw to a hand that may be beaten". It's elementary and I bet the players posting know this, but in the foam of battle when you suspect players are betting with nothing--it's easy to start thinking you should make a stand with your King high flush draw. Or maybe the guy is betting the high and your 3rd nut low can take the low. This is sloppy thinking for me and is my version of tilt.

Easy fold.
