He really hit one of the worst hands imaginable, because hitting the 8 on the flop as top pair kept him a hand he really shouldnt have been in to start with. And he didnt bet enough to push the others away from their hands. If that can be done at this level.
Thank you! What soo few players see is the money they lose from staying in hands that they never really had a chance with. This one turned out weird. But the reason I don't advocate say A9s is because players literally burn money when they half-hit the flop. That's why I call it an intermediate play, not a beginner play. It's the psychology of the thing that costs people money, not the mathematical odds of it. They hit half the flop and get overly involved in the hand, where an experienced player will check/fold TP crappy kicker when they were in the hand for the straight draw.
This is the big blind spot people don't see in their game. THE #1 LEAK. And that's why they call it a leak. You think you played OK and then say "where's my money?
