opinions about a 2-5 nm hand at borgata yesterday

elliott44 · #1 06-20-2007, 12:01 AM

been playing very tight for 45 minutes-all junk starting hands.Finally get 88 in late position.Early position solid player raises $20 - 2 callers -I call.
Flop comes j 8 6 rainbow. Raiser bets $35 other player folds and I call.
A on turn. early player bets $55, I make it $155 to go, he shoves.
I have $550,he has me covered.
I call - he turns over AA- river is a blank.
I think I played it right,but was destined to be stacked.
I put him on AA,KK QQ AJ JJ AK.
So I could beat all of his hands except AA or JJ.
Thoughts and opinions?
thanks in advance

i never fold sets out of fear of a higher one. esp when its only 100 or so bb's. i think this hand is fine.

i dont think i could fold there unless i really had a lot of experience vs other player, u just got unlucky

I think you should just call the turn.

Raise the flop.

Otherwise fine.

edit. Didn't see the J on the flop. Disregard my post.

lol, being card dead for ALL OF 45 minutes. First time live!? you can be card dead for hours. 45 minutes is like...20 hands.
