You Choose, AJo or 88

[Sinitster]

88 for me .... definately on 888

[Bob B]

For what it's worth I had almost every pocket pair cracked today after either raising 4 times the pot as a minimum or going allin preflop if there were 3 or more who called before my turn and the flop with pocket 4's, 7's 10's x 2, J's x 2 Q's x 3 K's x 2 and yes the old pocket aces got smashed too.

Most beats were with Ace rag and only 2 were against pocket pairs that were either higher or made a set, str8 or flush.

Not sure how to read those graphs as the lettering was a bit too tiny for me to read. So, having said I'd take the pocket 8's in a heart beat I'm not sure any more.

Usually I would say the 88. I don't put nearly as much thought into the way I play poker as what most of you do but I just would feel better about holding the 88 than the AJ.

But last night a board ran out Q 10 Q 2 10 when my AJ was all in was called by 88. Nasty! But good for me

Probably the wrong wording there CT I was hoping for the following outcome.

The blinds were only 10/20 and I didn't want to do an allin or major raise like most would do with pocket Jacks so I decided to put some bait out there by only raising 5xBB.

I was sort of hoping for the likes of an AK, AQ type player and hope to have a great flop. If the flop came say with an Ace or king etc I had only invested $100.

The ALLIN reraise was pretty standard for Satanicus so I insta-called putting him on almost any 2 cards for a steal or one of the above type hands. I wasn't committing all of my chips by calling and hoped my Jacks would hold.
