Re: Noob - 1st hand post - pocked 8\'s
with 5 players to the flop, you essentially are playing your pocket 8's for set value. Plus, if you notice... SB isn't exactly the person who showed pf aggression, so I would expect to see SB have an A a good portion of the time. T8 is a possibility, as are 9x and such... all of which beat you at the moment (minus T8 but that hand is slim). In addition, you have Button behind you who showed aggression preflop. A good portion of the time if you call the SB donk-bet to you, you're going to be calling a raise from button as well. You therefore have awful position relative to the original raiser. You are only down to 3.5 outs... (8's, bdsd) so you're already verry thin on a call relative to pot odds. All these combined make for an unprofitable call on the flop. I just fold.
On the turn, you're down to ~1 out to 8's, ~3.5 outs to T's so around 4.5 outs total so you need about 9:1 on your call... you're only given 8:1, again, I'd fold here if I were to misclick the flop.
