I should have written (although I feel I did imply) "as far as David was concerned, his A8 in the BB...."
My own views on this are suitably ignorant. I suspect that I would pass anything less than AQs.
Or, with A8, flat-call and then push all-in if there was a rag flop (if an Ace comes or an 8 comes, I might put in a pot-size bet, intending to call any raise).
Then again, I'm tired at the moment.
You managed to get out for only $30 including your bonus? I dream of that. I was $600 down on the day a couple of hours ago, sitting at a table which seemed to have a never-ending feed of loose aggressive players, none of whom I could get anywhere near on the flop. I've got it back to $400 down on the day now, and the last LAG is down to his case $100.
This is a tough game when you are going through a protracted bad run (9 weeks and counting, I guess). A tough tough game.
