i like it, as the flop is pretty dry and you block the nut-flush draw. the fold to the raise is also fine.

Really? How often is your CB frequency when your A-A-x-x misses (on a relative bland flop)?

I don't check fold EVERY time, but on this flop I'm inclined to. We just have so few outs and our hand just plays horribly on later streets.

You're gonna get looked up by a lot of weak hands here and the raise *probably* isn't profitable vs this many callers.

If we were against fewer callers I'd pot this almost 100% of the time, so this decision certainly is pretty marginal.

i disagree, i think this flop is one we should bet, the two 8s are also a nice blocker for a straight draw and leading here must appear pretty strong if we werent overaggro before. it obviously also depends on the table conditions that we dont know here.

Pretty standard bet / fold with no reads it seems to me.

I would check this flop almost never.

Fine as played. you have Ad and 88 for the blockers so you are perfectly entitled to bet. i dont like check/folding it seems a little weak, and check/calling is even worse. it wouldnt suprise at these stakes if villan was making this move with a non nut flush draw but its irrelevant whether its 3 high or K high you still are beat if he hits
