i fold this pf. As played id check flop but probably get it in when he bets. once you left yourself 730 behind you have to call.

agreed. calling preflop is spewage.

the voice in my head was like pot odds are the nutz, see a midflop come down and get it in.

Next time, I should be thinking T8s isn't dominating JT, KT, A8 (likely holdings) and the suited/somewhat connected part isn't as valuable for pot odds as I previously overvalued. At the 80/160 point I should be looking for pots where I'm first to act with a trash hand like this and push from SB or BTN (with right read on blinds) if I ever play this hand. What you think?
