Here is problematic hand, because I planned to draw to a flush and forgot about it when flopped trips...

Hey Ramadas,

Equitywise Q8s is a very bad hand to openraise & play. Generally on your limits, being solid & tight pays of so much compared to higher stakes. People have no clue what they are doing on this limit so you want to minimize the variance & speculation by not playing this hand.

I would either bet normally on the Turn or just go directly all-in because it is clear he is not folding his Ax ever or Qx

But I think your biggest leak is playing too many hands which is not good in the long term

Best regards,
Gerv
