This is a -EV call AINEC.
I think in these spots we level ourselves into making bad calls.
just take a step back and think about the hand. We have a doubled paired and flush board and we effectively have a bluff catcher vs the preflop Early Position raiser on a K K 8 J 8 board...
What do we beat? AQ, TT???
that's about it. If we ran this scenario 100 times, how many do we win? 15? 20?
I would never have called the turn bet, I would have just let this one go. Only way I call this on turn is if I had the A
Otherwise, I just surrender and let it go.
I'm a big fan of cutting my losses in super crappy situations. Seriously, we have a K K 8 J three to a flush board... We could be drawing 100% dead... Just let it go...
Imo, one of the biggest leaks we can have as thinking players is thinking ourselves into seriously -EV calls. That is the downside to having a head full of advanced poker theory... You start leveling yourself into Hero calls that are just super -EV...
