25NL WTF Am I doing?

[finalboarder]

At 25NL I would definitely fold A8o UTG. I also think that if you were intending to float that you should probably shutdown after the turn bet and fold. On the river a flush doesn't make sense to me. It looks more like AQ. Possibly AK but I think that he would have reraised from the BB. I would have probably called depending on my reads.

But either way I don't even want to get into this situation.

First of all guys this is 4handed so I'm openraising from CO basically, which I don't think is too bad.

Thanks for the responses though. I'd really like some more input though.

Its 4 handed, do you guys open A8 in the CO? I generally fold these spots, we split at best (never ever a hand that we beat) and lose a fair chunk of the time we're behind. And even when we do split, we lose to rake, either way, fold or raise the flop calling just sucks

Why did you call on the flop?
Overall this pot seems pretty lose lose.

Raise or fold flop depending on your image and opponent
Fold turn as played
Fold river as played

raise the turn all day. preflop is fine imo.

I don't think open-raising A8 4-handed is really bad, although I wouldn't do it against blinds that like to float flops too often. I'm hoping to steal and that's about it.

If you're going to float the flop I think you have to raise the turn when a scare card hits, especially since you know he doesn't have the Ac. Sure you picked up a draw but your implied odds are probably not great if the board 4-flushes. I raise the turn to about 7 and fold to a shove.

His river bet is a flush hoping to get paid off by a random ace way more often then a bluff I think, especially if he knows everyone loves to play ace-rag at microstakes.
