Hey,

nothing to question here)


Hey thanks, I didn't think I did anything wrong, but I obviously lost the hand..I wasn't sure of the raise pf, should I have just moved in and possibly eliminated some idiot from playing J8? I guess I just got unlucky. Thanks for the reply.

I don`t think that moving in is the right play here, besides you are obviously willing them to call you with J8 all the time) with AQs you have 64% of equity against hands like J8. You might want to keep in mind that your goal in game is to make as much +EV moves as possible, but you can`t make them all positive, it`s not a mistake, it happens)
And if you made a +EV move you don`t care any more about coming cards, since you are making profit even when you loose.


I see, that makes sense, I need to do some more reading about equity and EV. Thanks

you are welcome
I would recommend you reading first three chapters of "Theory of poker" by sklansky.
Pokerstrove is also nice free software for calculating equity.
