Why you shouldn't play A 8 in a raised pot

Posted Sun Aug 21, 2005 11:33 pm GMT by zinn0
Playing a home game the other night. .25/.50 blinds. I get dealt A K Heart UTG, and make it $3 to go. The button is the only caller. Flop was K 8 A. I fire out another $3. Button calls. Turn, A, very nice for me. I bet $5, button comes over the top all in...what can this guy have? I call, he smiles and says, full house. I say me too and show my Aces full of Kings. He looks ill as he shows his Aces full of 8's. He was pretty upset after that one.
