Without any reads this is an easy fold for me. You're betting big, representing AK and he's not afraid.

Ya, there's just no way against an unknown. I need to add some sketchy hands to his range to justify a call here. Just making sure. I had a bad session last night, and it all started with this hand (I folded BTW.) It just went downhill from here. I needed the sane, "Hey, there's nothing you can do there" reminder. I had been running so good lately, it was almost like, "AK, flop to it, and I lose 30% of my stack?? That doesn't happen to me!!" I needed a reality check. Ahh, sweet sweet karma...always there to put me in my place.

with no reads i am probably folding this...

what i would do is look thru the instant hand history and see if he looks like he has been active and/or just lost a big pot(he is only sitting w/ $33)

if this is the case then i might call

Fold. I'd say you run into a set of 8s most of the times here and he just gets scared on turn cause there are so many draws...

This is a very good point and I honestly didn't consider it at the time. Always gotta consider the tilt factor. Thanks much.
