Overbetting the flop in such spot is a really bad mistake.. There are no cards you're gonna dislike on the turn or that will kill your hand.

It would be ok-ish to cbet big with something like 33 just to take it down. There's pretty much no card you're gonna like and your hand also can't improve (not even with a 3) and you can't really comfortably bet any turns for value.

Oh yea and don't fold as played lol.

Snap call, he can shove so many hands, and like you say, only one card in the deck beating you, usually most players with an 8 would just call the overbet too to induce. Just a cooler

Firstly really sorry to hear about your bad beat.Cause he having the 8 , the odd is really less.Nevertheless, you would be in this situation. With pocket Aces you should always raise a bit more or else there are donks who would call you with suited cards to make a flush or straight draw on the flop. For you situation I would have raised to 180 where the BB i 25 to avoid bad beats.But after the flop you were hooked it was snap call.

Even diamond members can be fishes :coolface:

Being serious: I don't think that "soul reads" are a valid argument in online poker ;)
It's simply wrong to fold in this spot.

You are right to question it. Here is what can help...

do you beat hands? well, on this board yes! 99 TT JJ etc 22-77

Now, say the board is KQJ, NOWWWW snap fold because you are more likely to be in big big trouble.

actually, overbetting on this flop is a very valid option as it is more likely to result in a large pot vs small PPs which is exactly what we want!

Hi,

The fact that you had no information on the guy makes it tricky.
The very first hand he calls 84, you know now that he would have done the same thing with any pair probably. Can't afford guessing and folding there, you gotta call IMO.

good luck at the tables
