Okay, consensus is a clear fold. I agree.

I called--tilting?--and villain had black J8 for 14 outs (30% equity, LOTS of FE obv).

I called because I was overly optimistic that he was capable of floating on that flop (he instacalled) and shoved pretty fast, and I thought he did not want a call. I figured he had a draw with a heart and was surprised that he had two black cards.

I posted because although I won, I was thinking about the hand afterwards and decided calling was a very bad decision in the long run, and I'm glad you guys confirmed it.

I haven't reviewed the earlier game I played with him, and MAYBE I could pick up a good enough read to call this, but I doubt it. I'm glad I won but not happy that I made a bad decision here.

What do you think of villain's play? It's actually not a bad move (although betting 3/4 pot might be better, unless I have A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or something), given that he has to put me on overcards/pair, right?

thanks guys,
